Sorry if I seemed rude, but the only thing that can be seen is you
constantly asking about this problem, without giving feedback.

It's still strange that 5 minutes is not enough for SA to process a
single message. This is usually a sign of an overloaded system or very
heave rulesets. What's your hardware and mail volume?

btw, if you don't need user-specific rulesets and bayes-db, you should
switch to content scanning at ACL time. It's less complex, more stable
and lowers system load.
And if you trust your users a little bit (after all, you have a
contract), you can exclude authenticated senders from spam scanning.

That may be true, but 5 minutes should be really enough for SA to scan a
message.
