I just switch to CNFS CLEAN break but every 5 minutes I get the above or so.

Here are my files:

inn.conf

##  inn.conf -- INN configuration data
##
##  Format:
##      <parameter>:<whitespace><value>
##
##  Blank values are allowed for certain parameters.
##
##  See the inn.conf(5) man page for a full description of each of these
##  options.  This sample file is divided into two sections; first, there
##  are the parameters that must be set (or should be set in nearly all
##  cases), and then all parameters are given with their defaults for
##  reference in the same order and with the same organization as the
##  inn.conf(5) documentation.

# The following parameters are most likely to need setting, although the
# defaults generated by configure may be reasonable.

Why is this throttling every 5 minutes?
