I recently upgraded (did not change my local.cf) and had yesterday spamassassin not functional in a container environment. Getting " Milter (spamassassin): timeout before data read, where=eom"

I wonder what is causing this. I also noticed these. I don't really know if these are new or if something changes because all the digs return blocked (I think)

[185.182.56.42 listed in bl.score.senderscore.com]\n  0.0 RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_CERTIFIED_BLOCKED RBL: ADMINISTRATOR NOTICE: The\n                             query to Validity was blocked.  See\n

I am not processing that much mail so I am even wondering if these queries are indeed blocked, and why is this default on in spamassassin, especially when this can cause disruption.

Currently added these configs.
