If I recall correctly this means your rebuild takes too long. So while 
MailScanner gives up on SA it shuts it down befoe the job gets done and 
gives it another yank.

Unless you extend the time for SA to run and keep your fingers crossed 
this may be an indefinite holdup for your email.

You will find more notes on recomendations to expire manually only in the 
archives of this list if memory serves me well.
