<p class=MsoNormal>I have a serious problem with my antispam gateway. The
postfix queue is fulling up. It gets to 200-300 and even sometime more than
2000 mails in the queue.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I noticed that the load average is about 2.0. If I check
with "htop" I often see MailScanner: spam list or MailScanner:
Checking with spamassassin using 100% of CPU. RAM is used to 50%.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I use FuzzyOCR, razor and DCC. I rarely had this problem
before using razor and dcc and before upgrading to MS 4.64.3.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Here are some config from MailScanner.conf<o:p></o:p></p>
