Spamassassin trouble


Spamassassin runs for a long time (10 minutes or so) and takes all CPU time until server hangs.

I use Debian Sarge and Postfix for MTA. Could this mean that my server is used as I spam relay, how can I be sure?

I would rather disable Spamassassin then have server crash every day.

Please, please give me some tips on where to look for problem.

Thanks
