I was having similar problems and I finally setup a rule to limit message sizes that were sent to SA which seems to have resolved it. Perhaps it's some sort of spammer DoS?

The server is running FreeBSD 6.0-Release, Perl 5.8.8, and SA 3.1.5. spamd is started with the following: -d -r ${pidfile} -m 15 -i 127.0.0.1 -p 783 -s /var/log/spamd.log The ${pidfile} is set from within /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sa-spamd. I've checked through the spamd.log file created and can not find anything to indicate why this is happening. I've also made sure 'spamassassin --lint' comes out clean. I do use sa-update and had to remove the rules that I loaded into /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin as they were causing a conflict. That conflict wasn't visible until after I started logging. If there is something I'm missing, please point out what. Thanks. -- "This message was sent using 100% recycled electrons."
