My problem still remains: I disabled ALL the rules I use to check (Rules
du Jour, Bayes, Razor and Pyzor) and, believe it or not, it is still
getting overloaded :(

There is some way to check WHAT is causing the overload? Some debug?!
(can I check the possible cause os the overload with "spamassassing
--lint -D" command?!)

Thanks to all :)
