Are you running the very latest MailScanner?  IIRC there is a bug in the
Denial of Service Protection Code which has just been fixed (I think
Julian posted a patch to the list, as nows not the time to be
upgrading!)

If you get desperate, you said you weren't virus scanning with MS, just
turn MS off, start up sendmail (the regular standalone way) and dump the
contents of mqueue.in into mqueue  [mail & spam is better than no mail,
just].  Then have another shot with MS when its quieter (if theres a
particular message causing problems this would also get it out of the
system.)
