Check your mail log for error messages like this one: spamd[12960]: prefork: server reached --max-children setting, consider raising it We've been running spamd with '-m8' (max children spawned) for quite sometime and all of a sudden yesterday, we started getting similar behavior where email was coming through without SA headers. I'm guessing that some of the network checks we are doing are taking longer thus tying up the spawned spamd child processes longer. I bumped our -m arg from 8 to 12 (still got the error) and then to 24 -- that seems to have helped.
