Mail sits in active queue,

I've also had problems with bayes db contention prior to
moving bayes 
into sql. You can disable bayes (in amavis.conf and
spamassassin config 
files) and see if the problem resolves itself. Usually when
this 
happened mail was scanned very slowly (20-40 seconds per
message instead 
of 3-4). At that rate messages came in faster than they
could be 
processed and the queue would grow. However, things always
kept moving 
along... just slowly.
