The only item of doubt is a rulesdujour script that runs in cron.daily -- this updates a number of my spamassassin rules. I placed a "/etc/init.d/mimedefang reread" command in that script so that the multiplexor reread the configuration after a rules update, I suppose that is the source of the problems (afterall, the server does deal with a large volume of email, and is quite underpowered). I removed the "reread" command in the script and have re-enabled the embedded interpreter.
