Hi,
I have a problem whereby spamc sometimes times out while scanning mail
and consequently spam e-mail passes through unchecked straight to my inbox.
It is being called from Simscan but I don't think this is the problem as
the same thing happens on the command line.
If I run spamc manually it just never seems to return.
If I run spamassassin -D -t < spam.txt, it starts work but stalls here:

..and that last line continues indefinitely.
If I restart the box, it behaves normally for a few hours but then
starts having the above problems again.
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Nick...
