Hi Rabie,

The log you quoted in your initial post just indicate that the message
is skipped from spam scanning since it is larger than your "Max Spam
Check Size"... Hence the ensuing debate:-)...
Start by increasing that substantially, then drop the message in
again... Still problematic?
Having definct processes is normal, actually... If they stick around,
or all MS children suddenly go defunct, that might indicate a
problem... You didn't show/indicate that this was the case. Is it?

You could gzip the queue file and send it to me for testing... I'll
run it through a testbed tomorrow... If you do, please include as much
info as possible about actual versions (of pretty much everything:-)
so that I can mimic it as best I can.

Cheers
