Summary: Slow scoring for active mailboxes

Initial Comment:
I've installed SpamBayes to work on an Exchange 
mailbox that is very active at certain times, i.e. the box 
receives about 3000 emails per hour during parts of the 
day.  At first I thought that SpamBayes was skipping the 
scoring for large numbers of emails as it's coming into 
the Inbox (the Spam column in Outlook is blank).  But if I 
wait until there is a slow period (which may be as much 
as 8-10 hours after an email arrived), the email does 
eventually get scored and possibly moved.  My question 
is whether this is an expected behavior or is this a bug?  
Is there any setting that can be changed to score the 
emails more efficiently and quickly?

SpamBayes scores the message after Outlook tells it that the
message has arrived, so if it's that that's taking a long
time, then there's nothing that can be done about it, as
it's out of our hands.

However, if "background filtering" is enabled, we also wait
for a set period before scoring (after being told about the
new mail) and that might be causing the problem.  The reason
for doing this is to ensure that all Outlook rules run
before SpamBayes (otherwise it could be before, during or
after, depending on any number of things).  If all your
rules run on Exchange, then you don't need this (as they
will definitely run first), so can disabled it (it's on the
Advanced Tab of the SpamBayes Manager dialog).
