We had the same problem and what we did it to disable phishing (seemed to
help) and we set the lock type to posix instead of flock.

Have a nice day!!!

I've been seeing this behavior on just one of my MS boxes.  Periodically,
the same emails get scanned over and over and over.  They are always HS
Spam
and my HS Spam action is delete.  For some reason they just never get
removed from mqueue.in:

These end up driving the load on the machine to over 5.x and the box starts
to crawl.  I'm using MS 4.41.3-1, SA+sql, Sendmail-8.13.4, sophossavi and
clamavmodule.  OS is RHEL 3U4.  Any thoughts?

Mike
