The backup started occurring again this morning, reached about 1500 
messages waiting.  I took Res' suggestion and turned off spamassassin in 
the MailScanner.conf and sure enough it was only a matter of a couple 
minutes until the messages waiting went back down to under 200.  That 
will at least help in preventing delayed email (thanks Res) but now 
spamassassin is not running which I would obviously like to have running.

Thanks,
Derek
