Redux: Timeout waiting for input from local during Draining Input

[Dan Mahoney, System Admin]

Since installing SA 3.0.0 and getting a number of the problem listed 
below, I've had to increase the number of daemon 
children to 12, and it's caused problems to go down.

Still, "grep Draining /var/log/messages | wc -l" is still reporting a slow 
increase.  Here's the last one:

It's become pretty clear that when this happens, the message is allowed to 
slip past SpamAssassin.

input from local during Draining Input

Does anyone have any idea how to increase the "timeout" (to something like 
ten minutes), or is this more a problem of STILL not enough daemon 
children?
