any clues as to what may be causing this?

Thanks!

Did this happen from the beginning, or did you somehow modify/update SpamAssassin?
Are you maybe using SpamAssassin 2 rulesets with SpamAssassin 3?

Good questions. How to I find out?
This server is at a colocation service and my company wanted me to admin it best I could. There is one big issue and that the outgoing mail goes out very slow. Also someone told me that I might have two versions of spamd running. The server had Blue Quartz installed and I think they never shut down the version that was on the server already. The server is running centos 4.

Does this help?
