Thanks pterobyte. I checked and it was already _amavisd:_amavisd for /var/amavis/.spamassassin.
The files in it are as follows:
ls -l
total 61160
-rw------- 1 _amavisd _amavisd 21004288 Aug 12 2012 auto-whitelist
-rw------- 1 _amavisd _amavisd 95688 Aug 12 2012 bayes_journal
-rw------- 1 _amavisd _amavisd 5185536 Aug 12 2012 bayes_seen
-rw------- 1 _amavisd _amavisd 5025792 Aug 12 2012 bayes_toks
This means they haven't been touched since the install. And some of the messages include R/W on the files:
5/19/13 3:05:38.700 PM org.amavis.amavisd: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: tie failed: No such file or directory
I'm quite sure this has NOT been going on since 8/12/2012. I do look at the system log from time to time.
Any other thoughts?
There seems to be a perl crash each time this happens. Here is the top of the crash log:

The parent process is "spawn" a process run by postfix "master" process to spawn up processes with priveledges. Seems like it may be here to look next.
Peace,
