MailScanner consuming 100% CPU

Hash: SHA1

Start by checking things like the SpamAssassin cache db has not got 
corrupted. It's in /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming. Just delete the 
database files and they will rapidly be recreated. It costs you a bit in 
processing speed for a couple of minutes but does no other harm than that.

Screwed cache DB files can cause all sorts of weird symptoms.
