The children were becoming un-responsive, one after the other, and were not returning to process any more mail. Eventually this caused qmail to reject smtp connections, as mail processing had come to a halt.
These processes were given the chance to "come right" after Saturday evening and for half a day our Mail server was "broken" to clients. We also had an error in mail.err saying that version 0 of the database could not be used. After moving the Bayes database and letting SA create a new one, behaviour returned to normal. Now we have gone from a 330Mb bayes_seen file to a virtually non-existent one in comparison, causing much spam not to be tagged correctly.
