No, it's doing other stuff too. It hasn't been a problem until
recently, though. I've been adding quite a few SARE rules to
/etc/mail/spamassassin - I wonder if that has finally pushed it over
the edge?

I'll have a look next time it happens. It's been fine since I reloaded
MailScanner last night. One thing I'm fairly confident about is that it
is not a memory swapping to disk issue - the hard disk is not active
when SpamAssassin goes slow.
