huge mail hangs lmtpd

I had again problems with an huge mail and lmtpd. I believe this is caused by the sieve regex filtering of the huge mail. lmtpd gets huge and takes as much cpu time it can get, while the first lmtp is still running and so on. same mail to the patched cyrus still showed the same behavior. Has anyone else had this problem and had success with the patch from fastmail? Zentrum fuer Datenverarbeitung mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
