This morning AntiSpam stalled.  That is a little unusual and usually 
due to high traffic.  This time it appears to have stalled due to a 
failure of the availability of the block lists used by the 'Weight' 
keyword.  This may be related to: 
www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/04/10/messagelabs-gets-blacklisted 
Commenting out rules using 'Weight' released the stall.

Perhaps this demonstrates the weakness of using third party resources 
to sort ham from spam.  However, I would not be without it when it 
works.
