It looks like spamassassin is attempting to perform a bayes expiry, and
you keep killing it before it can finish. It does need to do that once
in a while, and it is slow.

If you want to, you can run sa-learn --force-expire in order to make
expiry run manually. If no expiry has been run recently, SA will attempt
to do so during mail delivery.
