Is there any special place where I can ask questions regarding Evolution 1.5 or shall just drop them in here?
somehow I do not think writting directly to Jeremy is a good idea :)
Hi,
Is there any special place where I can ask questions regarding Evolution 1.5 or shall just drop them in here?
Here should be fine.
My first question is why does it alway die horribly on the first download at email number 12 and then work after that (usually) and why is it so bloody slow? 600 messages takes well over 45 minutes to download on a UK broadband connection (512K line) and gnome-system- monitor shows it hogging upto 99% CPU time.
I have the internal spam trap killed and am only using SA 2.63. Sylpheed sucks down the same number of emails in under 5 mins (not checked using SA though - not sure how to set that up)

Spamassassin is running.

If you get Sylpheed to run even on your local SA2.63, it will take that long and eat up your CPU time.

Spamassassin is running.
Would it make any difference if I use a self compiled version of SA or is there in inherent problem with SA 2.63?

Likely, but it should be piped through spamd/spamc which is blindingly fast in comparison to running spamassassin.rc

I would first check if Evo is using spamd/spamc and if not ask here how to set that up if it is possible. And then if you are still getting slowdowns, I would disable all but local dns lookups to see if that makes a difference (add the -L switch to line 24 of /etc/rc.d/init.d/spammassain).
Another quite useful proggy I just installed is called ecncheck which you can look for on freshmeat.net. It will check the connection between you and a destination and let you know if it supports ECN, if it fails gracefully, etc. I pointed it at my DNS servers and found that one of them was refusing all connections at the time...so I moved it to the bottom of the resolver pile. Lookups have been quite sprightly ever since.
