Is SpamAssassin on the same machine?
Do you use a local DNS?
Did you actually check that log file?
The machine only handles hM and SA, so yes same machine.
No DNS, just default localhost.
A local DNS server will improve your search speed immensely
Not sure what you mean be searching? Where do i plug that into hM?

After reviewing your settings, and checking your log file (which you still haven't confirmed is only SA connection issues), my best guess is that SpamAssassin timed out (or was unavailable) and I'm trying to suggest ways to limit that.
Yes i did, in Post #9, maybe i was a little general vs specific in saying "yes, it was a winsock 2 error". Those are the ONLY errors i ever see, so i didnt think i needed to be
too specific, especially when it sounded like you guessed the contents of the log.

When i asked where they go, i presumed hM needs a way to reference them, im not
that familiar with the deeper workings of hM to be sure. So if you could maybe be a little more specific id really appreciate it
That's basically as specific as it gets. I posted a bunch of links that I thought were relevant to your question. You need to read them probably at least twice before attempting to implement them. I'm not saying that because I think you're dumb - it's just that there are many changes throughout the threads that are improvements and to understand what they are requires careful reading. One of the issues with a board like this is that those of us that are not moderators cannot modify the OP to update any scripts to the latest version of whatever script is being discussed. You post, then you have a very limited time to edit your post, then after that you have to simply post again if you have changes. Often those "re-posts" leave out stuff that was already discussed or was already working.

BTW im just using Win 10 1506 cause its the last version i can use that allows perma disable of Updates that arent forced on you after a while, in other words, MS doesnt have that backdoor to turn them back on.
I wouldn't do that. As much as I distrust MS, at least they are working on security flaws. So far, no MS updates have put my environment in jeopardy.
I understand the point to that, but the machine cant handle much more and ONLY runs hM and SA and is other wise blocked from the internet. I cant and dont want to upgrade it, theres a reason i have separate email and web servers.
when the answer is "run this since im apparently ignoring your carefully crafted question"
That is simply a means to give us a broad spectrum of information, which often cuts through the noise. You have to understand - many users come here with a question to what they think is the problem and it turns out to be something else completely. How could anyone know? Many users don't have a clue. I'm not saying that's the case with you, but understand the perspective of those of us trying to help. So many come here and don't have a clue.
Like i mentioned about the last time i posted 2.5 years ago, my ISP had apparently implemented another level of difficulty to the process and i had to allow a wildly odd IP address to communicate with hM and running the script didnt reveal anything wrong, i just simply figured it out on my own, but felt i wasted my time posting here. I never posted the solution for others to find as a result of his 'rudeness'.
See above. In that case, it was obviously something in your environment. Something difficult to perceive without actually knowing your environment.
The diagnostic script isn't perfect - it does not reveal all issues - but it does reveal a lot and is very helpful in diagnosing issues. That's why its asked for in 90% of threads.
Well, you also have to take into consideration others when they post, i gave more than enough info in my question to warrant SOME direct answer, or so i thought. "If A doesnt = B then why is C happening when C shouldnt happen unless A = B?" Either way, im looking at your script suggestions, and no i didnt take offense to the 'read twice' bit, i understood your context. Mainly i feel SOMETHING is wrong somewhere since i cant train bayes anymore and i went from
maybe 2-3 spam per day on ALL my accounts, to like 30-40 PER ACCOUNT per day.
