double message

[Matthijs Althoff]

os: Fedora Core 1
sendmail: 8.12.10
mailscanner: 4.32.5-1
spamassassin 2.64

I seem to have the same problem described by a user before but has not been
replied with an solution. (http://tinyurl.com/65pw4) at some point incoming
messages are doubled this is pretty annoying for my users. Doing a "service
MailScanner restart" solves the problem for a little while but this is not
a permanent sulution as after a while messages double up again. Today I
completely removed sendmail, mailscanner, spamassassin and re-installed and
configured it again from clean configuration files but without result.

MailScanner.conf some bits.

#Lock Type = flock

I had set lock to flock for a while which did not resolve the problem. This
server is under some heavy load at some points since some retard spammer is
doing a ongoing carpet-bombing on one of my domains. Where could the
problem be?
