Sure enough, that error message is in the /var/log/mail.log file several
times a day. I think this may be the problem I was having. The limit is
now 5 so hopefully this will happen very infrequently now and perhaps it
will solve the problem.

Ok, I did a broader search using:
cat `locate spamass | grep etc` | grep child
Turns out it's in /etc/defaults/spamassassin
I'm using Debian. Now the question is, will restoring maxchildren from 2
back to 5 help the problem? I will have to wait and see.

Does anyone know where the setting for max-children is?
If I run 'ps aux | grep spam' I can see:
That spamd is run like so:
/usr/sbin/spamd --create-prefs --max-children 2 --helper-home-dir -d
--pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid
However, I do not see where to specify max-children in any configuration
I'm using spamassassin with sendmail via spamass-milter. Many users are
using Open Webmail to read mail, and sometimes when they try to send, the
system hangs for 10+ seconds. Often it sends immediately however.
When I setup the system, I remember reading somewhere that it might be a
good idea
