Hi,
I had similar problem, it turn out that mailscanner children were
detaching themself and stay in memory. Rest of it was the same system
locked up but responding to pings.
I fixed it by setting mailscanner not to try to deliver mail in
background but puting it into the queue.
Everything works great now.
