bayes_seen 39MB
bayes_toks 43MB

At the moment I have the latest version of MS and the problem
still exists. I'll upgrade SA tonight.

This started when we have implemented GERMANSPAM rule in local.cf

header GERMANSPAM  MESSAGEID =~ /^<.*[a-z].*\.qmail\@.*>/
describe GERMANSPAM Contains German Spam
score GERMANSPAM 10 10 10 10

Thank for you help.
