Do your cycle your syslog files more than once a week?
Is syslog still running when you discover MS hanging?
Are there any mail files in the /var/spool/MailScanner/PID dirs?
      -check timestamps for the latest maillog entry against the files
I might have missed it but what virus scanner do you use?
Do you use spamassassin
Is the MTA still operating (is the in queue getting bigger and bigger)
