Since rolling back the ACL blocking on Tuesday we have seen large volumes of inbound email overnight that have resulted in the queues reaching in excess of 10,000 messages.

Work to refine the queue runners on the platform this morning has failed to resolve the problem:

We believe the delays occur when one of the anti-spam processes reloads its database.

Suggestion is for us to upgrade to the latest version of Clam during a planned maintenance window next week.
