Not sure how to do this. Can you explain it? I'll be more then happy to get 
whatever debugs/logs you need. Thanks!

The milter stops processing mail to SA, but because the INPUT_MAIL_FILTER has 
the "F=" flag, sendmail still relays the mail to my internal mail server. The 
maillog shows that the Milter went into an error state and connection is 
refused by /var/run/spamass.sock. Only way to get it working again is to shut 
sa-milter and restart it. This box processes about 10,000+ emails a day and im 
wondering if its because the milter cant handle the high load. Any ideas? 
Thanks!
