[FIXED] How can I solve spamassassin DKIM timeout request?

Issue

I have a mail server runs CentOS 7 with Exim + Dovecot + Spamassassin v3.4.0, and VestaCP. Everything works fine except too long spamassassin check. It takes 10-11 seconds.

At the spamassassin debug log I see that the problem with DNS query for DKIM record (1st log line) and it terminates with 10 seconds timeout (3rd log line). And it fails DKIM test.

If I run special check with spamassassin -t -D dkim at the same email then eveything works fast and DKIM passing test.

Jul 14 20:46:49.962 [24398] dbg: dkim: signature verification result: PASS

How can I solve this problem?
