Since it worked when you disabled simscan you should turn it back on again 
and manually disable the spam and clam in the control file for it. 
spam=no,clam=no
On the line above the default entry (it reads down from the top put a line 
specific to your email address).  Turn spam off for all domains.  Then send 
a test message to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] and see if you can get it to that box.

[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]:clam=yes,spam=yes,trophie=yes,spam_hits=20,attach=.scr:.bat:.com:.pif:.exe:.vbs:.lnk:.wsh:.hta
[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]:clam=yes,spam=no,trophie=yes,attach=.scr:.bat:.com:.pif:.exe:.vbs:.lnk:.wsh:.hta
:clam=no,spam=no,trophie=no,spam_hits=5.5,attach=.scr:.bat:.com:.pif:.exe:.vbs:.lnk:.wsh:.hta


Then do this:
 /var/qmail/bin/simscanmk
 /var/qmail/bin/simscanmk -g

It's likely you did an update to spamassassin and forgot to update the 
simscan db file (-g command) previously to the network issue.   Then when 
you were having the problem rebooted the machine or restarted qmail, which 
made the update effective.

Subject: [qmailtoaster] problem receiving remote email


I'm trying to track down a problem with a high volume server and would
appreciate any insights.

To begin with, there was a networking problem which I know nothing about
that apparently started this whole ordeal. The network problem is allegedly
fixed, but the email problem persists.

The smtp log appears to be normal, except that there are no simscan
messages. A test email eventually bounced with "Sorry, I wasn't able to
establish an SMTP connection. (#4.4.1)". Something's misleading though, as I
saw the smtp session for this message in the log, and it ended with status 0
(but no simscan record).

Guessing that simscan (or more likely something within it like SA or clamav)
was having a problem, I disabled simscan, and mail is flowing once again.

Any ideas what might be the problem here?
