So I have my mailserver running with the full suite of software on RSEL6:

Postfix/mysql/dovecot/roundcube/spamassasin/clamav/amavis-new

Quite a mouth full, and I see it in lost connections:

      1035   *Warning: Pre-queue content-filter connection overload



That is a lot!  So there is supposedly some tuning that might help:

Or I just put up with this. It will get worst as spammers redirect here
from the old mailserver that I just turned off last night (an i386 box
that has been running for 4 years).

BTW, I am working up a blog posting on how to build this...

I cannot say I am too surprised you are having overload issues at times if you are running spamassassin on a Pi.

Not a Pi (armv5), but a Cubietruck (armv7 duo core, 2Gb memory).

It isn't exactly lightweight. That's why I am sticking with only nolisting and clam and uri milters without spamassassin.

It might also be worth checking what your disk I/O and swapping are like, since on a Pi clamd alone will be eating about 1/2 of the RAM.

# free
             total       used       free     shared buffers cached
Mem:       2050624    1584976     465648        360 265588 761744
-/+ buffers/cache:     557644    1492980
Swap:      4193276       1276    4192000

How can I get a measure of disk I/O? That should be quite high for all the mail writing/reading. Also there is the mysql I/O. tables are small, but there are a number of them.

Though yesterday a lot less of this:

       49   *Warning: Pre-queue content-filter connection overload


Do spammers take off on Sundays?  :)
