SpamAssassin timed out and was killed, failure n of 20

[Shahid Hussain]

Hello,

When I went to http://www.gfi.com/emailsecuritytest/ to test my email system.. then I checked maillog (tail -f /var/log/maillog) - it flooded with "SpamAssassin timed out and was killed, failure n of 20"

what the best way to solve this, scan each email once at time or something.


It just would not complete to scan all the email and it take forever, I just cleared all the email queue.

This is what I get below..
