nothing special during startup; it takes some time until the 99% CPU und Memory problem begin

>(spamc will do this limit by default.)
yes I do; SA is used with exim/exiscan with the following rules:
# Always add X-Spam-Score and X-Spam-Report headers, using SA system-wide settings
# (user "exim")
warn message = X-Spam-Score: $spam_score ($spam_bar)
spam = exim:true
condition = ${if <{$message_size}{250k}{1}{0}}
warn message = X-Spam-Report: $spam_report
spam = exim:true
condition = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{40}{1}{0}}
# Add X-Spam-Flag if spam is over system-wide threshold
warn message = X-Spam-Flag: YES
spam = exim
condition = ${if <{$message_size}{250k}{1}{0}}
# Reject spam messages with score over 5, using an extra condition.
deny message = SPAM This message scored $spam_score SPAM points.
spam = exim:true
condition = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{50}{1}{0}}
