Well, you're right, it was pretty slow importing the list and placing it in the ini file... We are placing the FROM and TO email blacklists in separate files. Preliminary testing shows a huge improvement in the import speed. The lookups in the list seemed to be already very efficient, so we made no changes there. We'll be releasing the new build within a few days.

Tested your file, and definetly SpamFilter is not optimized for that number of exclusions. We're currently entering them in the SpamFilter.ini file, and that is not the right place to put them... We'll be then moving them as well in a separate file, as we recently did for other local black/white lists. This should definetly improve performance. I'll send you a beta release if you wish to test it out if you wish within a day or so.

Part of why I asked for the file was to see how performance was affected. We have not particurarly optimized the exclusion lookup routines for speed as we did not expect that high number.

it was due to a size! :)

it took about an hour to cmplete parsing! :)

last entry in ini is now under number:
EMail42892=zuluk@zwallet.com

cool! :) now, sendign you the file. another question could you measure if such a big number of addrsses will cause significant delays in mail checking? please answer here, i think it will be interesting for all.

Never tested it with that many :-)

Can you email us the file so we can reproduce it here? Could be that size is not an issue, but rather that an entry within that file is causing it to deadlock.

Roberto,

I've got fresh antispam txt file with 42000 FROM: adresses (wildcards, etc)

Clicking SAVE settings button was my mistake! :) Spamfilter is now in at a deadlock! :) (site of txt file was about a 1 Mb) size of ini file is now about 300k and still growing! :)

it parsed settings about 15 minutes already.
