Hi there,
One thing to keep in mind is that ACLs are processed in order.

This scans everything but won't put the header in the due to the scan
being after the message (inserting of header) and ALL emails with
attachments are scanned which is causing the cpu usage.

Then this adds the message as it now has the information due to the
previous acl.

This is due to the Spamassassin values being used before it has been filled.

No, but it will for allow outbound emails sent not being scanned, further reducing cpu usage.
The Best way would be to do the following.


accept  authenticated = *

accept  hosts = +trusted_hosts

warn    condition = ${if <{$message_size}{100k}{1}{0}}
        spam = mail:true
    message  = X-Spam_score: $spam_score\n\
                    X-Spam_score_int: $spam_score_int\n\
                    X-Spam_bar: $spam_bar
     

So it checks if the sender is authenticated, then if its in the trusted_hosts list. if its in either it accepts the email.
It then checks the size of the email and if its under 100K it continues on to scan the email and then places the header
into the message. This should pretty much knock the cpu usage on its head.

Cheers
