The busy timeout (of 300 seconds) was hit.  This means something in the
filter is taking more than five minutes.  It could be a problem with
the filter, or a problem with SpamAssassin or Anomy (if you are using
one of those.)  Five minutes is definitely excessive to process a single
e-mail.  On my 900-Mhz Athlon, it typically takes around 300 milliseconds
to process one message.

Please e-mail me your filter (or put it on the list) and I'll try
to figure it out.

David.
