It was in the maillog looks like

Apr 26 18:52:16 general MailScanner[17284]: database is locked(5) at 
dbdimp.c line 398

I had 127 of this yesterday before I fixed it. The command

  /usr/sbin/analyze_SpamAssassin_cache

Also showed there was a problem. [It froze for a little bit then spit 
out a couple errors and then completed. I forgot to save the output, sorry.]
