I tried increasing the timeout to 90 per a faq I found on the mailscanner website, but it didn't help the problem. I will try to throw a faster machine together to test.

This may get more as the load in the mail server increases. So, either you can go for more RAM+Clock speed or you can try increasing the SA timeout in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf: SpamAssassin Timeout = 40 But, a timeout period of 40 seconds is more than enough.If it takes longer than that, the server may probably be feeling extremely high load, in which case, bayes is faster than rulesets.
