You could go for a force expire solution anyway. But you don't really
have to, no.

Next thing to check is if something takes a lot of time completing...
Simplest is to run a test message through (so that you would get the
network tests too) spamassassin. That way you'll see if any of the
digest tests (both Pyzor and DCC have been known to mess things up (in
different ways:)), or BLs, or individual rules seem to take forever.
If you have MailWatch, it has a very nice "timed breakdown" of a lint
run, but unfortunately this will not help you (since you are runnig
3.1.7, which has the network tests turned off for the --lint test).
Did you use Pyzor? Do you use the "alternate" sever at
82.94.255.100:24441
... The default one always seem to time out, this doesn't, so use this one.

Martin Hepworth have posted a few BLs he "habitually" turns off in
SpamAssassin, search the list archives for those... Might help you.
Also look for DCC timeout problems (I don't rightly recall what that
was about... Centered on dccifd IIRC).
