It helps if we know how you receive e-mail. If it's through fetchmail,
stop fetchmail from running. If it's through a MTA (something like
sendmail), stop the MTA while you do sa-learn and then re-enable it.

Any incoming e-mail will be retried (unless it's spam -- you're
effectively greylisting everything while the MTA's down).

Hope this helps,

James.
