Spamassassin slowing down kmail
anc
running as a background process, the only pop filters in kmail look at
headers and sent to different folders, but when I pull off my mail from
my remote pop3 mail server spamassassin takes around 20 to 30 secs per email
to process. Previously on SuSe 8.1 this worked much faster.
The filter in kmail first decides that emails are under 250k, then it pipes
all messages through spamc and if the header "X-Spam_Flag" equals "Yes" is
encountered, that email is moved to a spam folder.
Messages that are being processed are plain text only, some only a few kB in
size, why are these taking so long to process?
If I remove the spamassain mail filter lines mail is retrieved almost
instantly, my connection is 512k ADSL.
Prior to using kmail I use popsneaker at the command line, removing all spam
email, any remainder is dealt with by spamassassin.
Thanks in advance for comments, suggestions.

Hello,
I had a similar problem. I found out that this is simply due to a lack of
memory. I had 128 MB at the time. Did you increase the necessary amount of
filtering work by letting SA learn spam/ham?

It could be trying to use a blacklist that it can't reach, I suppose..

Good thought - infinate-monkeys went defunct a couple months ago. That would be
a good place to check...
