So what are you proposing Justice? Please help me understand. You
wanted a soft rejection when spamassassin is down. I am telling you
that a 451 error is a soft error. I am trying to understand what you
believe the correct behavior should be?
If we reject with error 451, the sending smtp server should retry
later. If the sending smtp server generates a bounce, there is nothing
we can do about it.

I understand that it's a soft reject insofar as that is concerned. The
issue seems to come in when something has happened to spamassassin, be
it that it crashed, doesn't have room for connections at the time, etc.
At that point the 451 error basically becomes a show-stopper. The
clients could care less what is happening on the server level, all they
care is that they see an error-message. While I would guess it might be
possible to setup a rule so that SMTP authenticated clients will not be
processed by simscan, that still wouldn't change the fact that behind
the scenes spamassassin has broken in such a way that it seems things
can't be worked around. Maybe I'm incorrect in my diagnosis, etc.
