No idea.

On my own setup : 8 SA "timeouts" observed, 7 in the first 4 hours after
a restart and 1 outside this scope.

Mojahedul :
Did all your SA kills occur during the four hours after a restart or do
you have any strange occurence ?

Since I am in a testing phase I killed/restarted mailscanner a lot, but
I confirm that once I let it run the SA "timeouts" don't seem to occur...

Weird.
