[Mimedefang] Huge messages causing "try again later"

[sysadmin at omsoft.com]

I found this corresponding entry in syslog:

> Feb 24 14:06:09 hostname mimedefang[23627]: [ID 847421 mail.error] Error
>	from multiplexor: ERR Filter timed out - check filter rules or system load

So I guess the multiplexor timed out waiting for a child to respond then. This 
occurs at a time when only 1 or 2 children are busy out of a maximum of 12.
