More information: The entries in /var/log/exim4/paniclog coincide with
entries at the same time in /var/mail/info which shows:

"child processing timeout at /usr/sbin/spamd line 1086"

So there must be a problem within spamassasin causing this.

I have have changed my configuration for spamassassin now to
--max-children 7 --max-conn-per-child=30. It was --max-children 10
before.

Will see how it goes and follow it up in the spamassassin-list.

Regards
Johann
