I had just one user who was using 100% CPU when I did a top -c from root for spamd.
Here is softlayers solution:
Now we have increased the spamd child process. Earlier it was only 2 and the recommended value was 15 - 20. This shall have a effect in it.
Also exim panic log is showing a socket time out error which also was quoted as a reason for this since an internal connection originating from the server gets a socket time out due to firewall.
So as a recommended solution, we have now disabled csf and the issue seems to be resolved.

Does this mean I cannot use chirpy's firewall on any of my servers?
Thank you
