I have a private plug-in that accesses my PostgreSQL-based mail archive for auto whitelisting: anybody I've sent mail to is whitelisted by the archive. I have an overnight cron job that shuts down Postgres, takes a backup, and restarts the database. Any messages that arrive during the shutdown are not marked as scanned by SA. It looks as though spamd times out in the SQL request and returns the unscanned message to spamc so it can be passed on.
