This is an old thread and likely there is a better way to do this, but
since you are running an older version of SA, it may still work:

Basically, use of a local caching DNS server is recommended and you
are likely to find that programs like Pyzor and Razor (if you use
them) are going to take up quite a bit of time:

SA check: 6952 (94%)96,

Hopefully if you are using Razor and.or Pyzor they are confgured
properly and are working properly.

Keep in mind that larger messages may not get scanned at all due to:
$sa_mail_body_size_limit
and therefore processing for larger message may be less than smaller ones.
