Of course Spamassassin *should* _not_ take that long on any decently sized message, however being complicated software it can be buggy. Therefore it'd be nice if it was possible set a maximum time spent on invocations of spamassassin in exim, e.g. _something_[1] like this: spam = nobody:true/timeout=1m/timeoutaction=defer thanks for considering, cu andreas [1] You might consider "timeoutaction" creeping featurism and choose to handle "failure triggered by specified timeout" the same way as other spam errors, i.e. causing DEFER unless defer_ok is specified. -- "See, I told you they'd listen to Reason," [SPOILER] Svfurlr fnlf, fuhggvat qbja gur juveyvat tha.
