amavis SA TIMED OUT

[segr@…]

I'm getting a weird error all of a sudden on a amavisd-maia setup from Spam Assassin. I'm seeing this in my maillog file, and a perl process will rack up the cpu.

Any ideas would be appreciated

sounds like you have a DB that is locked, probably just too much contention for it. You really should put the bayes database in SQL instead. (with INNODB table type, if mysql is used)
