I reset the exim source spamd timeout back to 120 seconds, and upped the
'-m' value on spamd. That seems to have fixed the problem - no panic log
for over an hour now. The system load seems to fluctate quite a bit -
from doing nothing to being overloaded. Obviously at these points exim
is having the problem talking to spamd.


Many thanks for all the replies,

John.
