Hi all, I'm using Fedora Core 5 with sendmail configured as distributed. No changes are made to sendmail config files. I started using fetchmail to retrieve mail from a lot of pop3 servers, and configured procmail to pass messages to bogofilter to mark as Spam or not Spam. It works well but sometimes is very slow. I started analize why, and I see that a lot of messages are queued by sendmail (mailq) and a lot of processes are used by sendmail and procmail. Also I see with tcpdump a lot of DNS queries but I don't know why this appens. my fetchmailrc is like that: poll pop3server POP3 uidl tracepolls username "user" passwork "pass"; my .procmailrc is PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/local/bin:. MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail #DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/$USER LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail LOCKFILE=$HOME/.lockmail #BOGOFILTER_DIR=/var/spool/bogofilter #### backup #### #:0c: #mail.backup #### :0fw | bogofilter -p -l -e --spam-header-name=X-Ambrogio-bogo :0e { EXITCODE=75 HOST } I don't know sendmail configuration syntax, so I can't analyze what appens. Someone can explain me what appens, and why I have a lot of dns queries. What I have to do to reduce this network trafic (maybe use X is y here in fetchmailrc). Tnx a lot Ambrogio
