Re: Sudden increase in spam?

[Marek Podmaka <marki@onee.sk>]

Hello Jesse,

  For example when use pipe mail to spamc from your .procmailrc, there
  is no place to store that email in case of failure.

  man spamc says this:
-t timeout
   Set the timeout for spamc-to-spamd communications (default: 600, 0
   disables). If spamd takes longer than this many seconds to reply to
   a message, spamc will abort the connection and treat this as a
   failure to connect; in other words the message will be returned
   unprocessed.
