milter errors.

[Miles Mawyer]

I keep getting numoreous errors related to the milter and I'm trying to figure 
out why, and/or what they mean. Below are some excerpts of the log files.  
Message seem to be skipped a lot as well, I'll see that they passed through the 
milter server however they have no spamassassion headers? 

What do I need to do to figure out whats going on.  
It's a dual xeon 2.4g with 3gigs of ram.  I'm running 10 spamd children and 
ending up with about 300ms left of memory on average.  Seems kinda steep. Any 
idea?
