Unfortunately I don't have any advice, but I have perhaps seen something 
related. On my systems I have an extraordinary amount of connections which 
are hanging around in the TIME_WAIT state:

       $ netstat -at | grep TIME_WAIT | grep spamd | wc -l
       $ 41

It might be possible that spamd is not finishing the conversation 
with spamc properly or not closing TCP connections cleanly?

Regards,
Mark.
