But when this error appears, there are cache hits too (by other MS's
processes) and when the server's load downs, the error disappears and
all runs fine.
It seems that some MailScanner processes want to write to the database
and it's locked by other, so decreasing the timeout, it won't write the
hash to db but it won't wait for 30secs.
