Ugh, apparently the new Gmail compose maps Ctrl-Enter to the send function.

The -D option to spamassassin prints lots of ugly and glorious debug
output to the screen, which you can use to determine what is hanging
and taking so long. Other possibilities besides the stray lock files
are that you are using RBL's which are no longer answering or being
DDOS'd, etc.

The total budget at all receivers for solving senders' problems is $0.
If you want them to accept your mail and manage it the way you want,
send it the way the spec says to. --John Levine
