Hi Jules,

one step ahead ;) tried that at 1am this morning and still the same problem :( a spamassassin -D --lint works just fine, but when I run MS through debug it does appear to complete the SA checks but then hangs when it says "message size 30k".  What is happening after this bit ?

Regards,

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.
