Why don't you try Amavisd-new? You wouldn't have the problem of waiting for SA before incoming email gets accepted.

This is nuts. I'm going to have to back out 2.60 tonight if I can't get this resolved today. (Which I really hate to do; 2.60 does seem to catch more spam.) Other things I have done: Put the MIMEDefang directory on ramdisk. Turned on MIMEDefang queueing with a depth of 10. It's still having spells of rejecting connections as "it's busy" when CPU is less than 50%. (This is on a Solaris box.)
