Hi,
If I disable all spam checks under the current beta of Evolution, my email comes down happily.
If I enable them, the email slows down considerably and finally sticks on message 12 (it is always message 12).
I've seen this before and basically, it just needed .spamassassin being hosed - but that doesn't seem to have worked this time.
On my other FC3t1 machine, SA works just fine (that box hasn't missed a beat other than going from RH 7.3 to 8) as does the FC2 box at work. As a quick test, I've just brought over the .spamassassin directory from the other machine and downloading email/checking is still dog slow.
Any ideas on what is causing this?

Same for me, spamassassin uses a lot of cycles. I already disabled remote tests from Mail Preferences -> Junk.

My solution for a while now has been to weed out the easy spam with procmail before it gets to spamassassin.
It can really cut down on the load that goes thru spamassassin If you are using procmail to invoke spamassassin then just put the homemade recipes ahead of that one.
If not then spamassassin docu has tips for how to set that up.
There are a number of generic procmail scripts available on line to get you started. `google procmail spam recipe' will get you started I think.
As you experiment you will find more and more traps that will further ease spamassasins work.

That was the first thing I tried. No good, still dog slow.

I'm not familiar with Evolution but if your selection of "Mail Prefereces -> Junk" doesn't mean that spamassassin is invoked with the "-L" parameter it may help if you use it (spamassassin -L).

What if you select not to check for *any* junk, does it still go slow? I have that problem and it's something with the way evolution interacts with spamassassin. I just turned it off completely and just use spamassassin for now until it gets better.

Are you using spamassassin in daemon mode, or standalone? If standalone, switching to running as a daemon will make a huge difference.
