What version of amavisd-new? In versions < 2.4.0 SA was given 30
seconds to complete its tasks. You could increase this by setting
something like this in amavisd.conf:
$sa_timeout = 60;
but this is not needed in newer versions.

The Bayes expiry is very CPU intensive and it is not too uncommon for
it slow everything down (resulting in a timeout). Migrating Bayes to
SQL does help.

It also helps to run sa-learn --force-expire only once a day in the off
hours. Set up a cron job to do this and once you are certain it works
you can disable auto expiry with this in local.cf:
bayes_auto_expire 0
