You should upgrade that, 0.73 doesn't fully understand the current
definitions files, you will be missing protection from some viruses.

Check for any particularly large emails in the incoming queue.  I once
had a problem where someone sent a 100M zip file and this caused
problems (especially as my working directory was in tmpfs)  In the end I
had to stop MailScanner and remove the offending file.  After that I put
a message size limit in sendmail.
