Just to give some followup numbers, between both servers that are
currently doing Spam/Virus/MAIA, here is what it has seen for josh@post
since midnight:
# grep josh@post /var/log/amavis | awk '{print $8}' | sort | uniq -c
2 CLEAN,
4 INFECTED
20 SPAM,
# grep josh@post /var/log/amavis | awk '{print $8}' | sort | uniq -c
4 CLEAN,
4 INFECTED
4 SPAM,
So, not 100% certain where josh is seeing this "flood" ...
... but, just in case, I've raised the timeout on both the razor2 and
pyzor checks from 10 sec to 60 sec ... see if that helps any ...
