[Mimedefang] Timeout in data read

[Francisco Gorina Vanrell]

I am using FreeBSD 2.2.8. It is not a very new version but to install a new
one may be complicated.


What version of SpamAssassin are you using?  I've heard reports of a bug in
SpamAssassin which cause it to get stuck in a loop.  However, if this
happens, you should see messages like "ERR Filter timed out" in your log.

Version 2.43. But it doesn't shows the messages. In fact the filter works OK
and the spam headers and attachment are treated OK.
It gets stuck after that just as if mimedefang doesn't terminate.

You probably want to rebuild it without debugging once the issue is
solved, because debugging slows it down a lot.

Yes.
