warn: bayes: expire_old_tokens: child processing timeout at
/usr/sbin/spamd line 1086.
(Spamd then takes very long to scan a mail:
info: spamd: clean message (0.0/5.0) for Debian-exim:106 in 305.0
seconds, 3781 bytes.)
The child is trying to run a Bayes expire, apparently on a large Bayes
database that hasn't had a successful expiry run in some time. This attempt
to process the Bayes database is probably taking over 300 seconds, and the
child is being timed out and killed by something. As a result of being
killed, it never finished the Bayes expire processing. So the next child
tries to do the same thing, gets timed out and killed, the nex child tries
to do the same thing...
Run a manual Bayes expire run and it will probably clean up your problems.
If this sort of problem starts to reoccur you might consider turning off
bayes auto expire and setting up a cron run to do it once a day or so. (Or
more often, depending on your mail volume.)
