I run a Communigate Pro server on Mac OS X. Messages are passed to SA using
rules. Today it has been running into problems. It grew during the day and
culminated this night, when I had disable SpamAssassin out of the rules. It
had been running fine for more than a week until now...

If I activate the SpamAssassin rule I will within a few seconds have loads
of spamd and spamc processes running:

and basically no mail comes through...

It seems the SA processes won't finish.
Also should there really be more than one instance of spamd running.
What is the point of the spamd process in watchdog then?
