Most likely it's only something wrong with MailScanner.

check your bayes directory.. are there a bunch of bayes "expire" files laying
around? If so, MailScanner is killing SA as it tries to expire tokens.


Quite frankly, I've never had MailScanner "time out" spamassassin for any valid
reason since SA 2.43. As a result have my spamassassin timeout set for 10
minutes now.
