Re: Should I tempfail when spamfiltering

2004-08-26 13:15:13
I have set my procmail TIMEOUT=90 so I don't wait too long for
SpamAssassin spamc to do its thing.  Does anyone have a suggestion
if this is too short or too long?

Too short.  In fact, don't kill spamc.  It has its own timeout:

  -t: timeout in seconds to read from spamd. 0 disables. [default: 600]

Procmail defaults to sixteen minutes; spamc, to ten.  I'd cut spamc's
timeout in half, but no more than that.  That's spamc -x -t 300.

HTH,
Mike
