Sendmail: timeout waiting for input from local during Draining Input



I am getting the above message in my syslog a few times a day. They
often appear after a spamd "connect" message thus:

Nov 1 08:43:32 debian spamd[3740]: connection from localhost
[127.0.0.1] at port 50834
Nov 1 08:43:32 debian spamd[3740]: info: setuid to ****** succeeded
Nov 1 08:43:32 debian spamd[3740]: processing message
<8169303.1162330826637.JavaMail.Administrator@xxxxxxxxx> for
******:1005.
Nov 1 08:45:16 debian sm-mta[4058]: k9VLgoek004054: timeout waiting
for input from local during Draining Input

I'm running sarge with the default installation of sendmail
(8.13.4-3sarge3) and spamassassin (3.0.3-2sarge1). I have a few
plugins such as FuzzyOcrPlugin.

I've got this running on a rather old PC. Could it be due to slow
hardware? It doesn't happen on my other server which is an AMD64. If
so - is there something I can tweak to allow longer processing - my
machine isn't particularly heavily used.
