Puzzling maillog entries

I've been searching the archives and haven't yet found this.

I upgraded to 4.21-9 a week or so ago. I'm usgin RH8.0 with sendmail
8.12.8 and spamassassin 2.44.

All "appears" to be working well other than two things.  The cpu load
level is running at 70% on the average and that is 25-30% higher that
last week prior to the upgrade.  In additional, I'm seeing this entry
repeated in maillog:

Is MailScanner/sendmail working properly?
