I am running postfix2.2.8 +mysql+sasl+tls+spf and use cyrus,
spamassassin-3.1.4, clamav-0.87, dspam-3.6.2, razor-2.82-14, pyzor-0.4.0-9,
dcc-1.3.26-1.53, and amavis-new 2.4.2 configuration on FC4.
After upgrading spamassassin and amavis-new, I immediately noticed that
postfix's mailq began filling up with timeouts on 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]. So,
for the past week, my single focus have been to repair changes to these two
apps interface with postfix.
As an interim hack, the only solution to flush the postqueue appeared to be an
hourly cron that (1) postsuper -r ALL and (2) a kill and restart of amavisd.
I am still not sure what is causing the timeout errors nor do I fully
understand why the messages stayed in the queue for hours.
However, I do know now that when I issue the following (between hourly crons)
at the command line without restarting amavisd ' postsuper -r ALL; postfix
flush' the postfix commands will flush all of the postqueue entries with
timeout complaints that have been lingering. [I have postsuper -s and -p]
This suggests to me that maybe, I should be assessing postfix, it is the only
component complainting about timeouts. Maybe someone could explain to me why
the postsuper and postfix flush combo seems to ignore queue's timeouts
complaints to process the mail. Or any other pearls of wisdom that I may use
to troubleshoot the timeout complaints.

"SPAM (in reply to end of DATA command )
Note: applied Amavis patch to handle postfix's master.cf LTMP entries.
Then maillog and postqueue entries changed to:

P.S. Maillog attachment of a timeout session was too long to send.
