Running nuonce BQ machine(s) and this has been the deal with all of them.
At some point our filters drop.( currenly the case see below)...mail
still gets sent as sendmail must not wait forever to hear back from MS.
My ( newbie ) self thinks spamassassitn in the culprit.
My question- how do I tell where this event is occurring.
CentOS release 4.4
This is MailScanner version 4.56.8
SpamAssassin version 3.1.7
Clamav rev ? ( from clam-sa combo install)

As you can see from your output, MS is waiting for messages to show up
to process. Sendmail doesn't wait for MailScanner. Sendmail drops each
message off to MailScanner in a queue, MS then moves the message to an
outgoing queue that sendmail picks up and delivers. MS starts it's own
sendmail processes up, so perhaps your system is running its default
sendmail bypassing MS. This is a question to be asked over on the MS list.
