aptitude claims I currently have spamassassin 3.1.0a-2 installed.
I haven't edited its logcheck files yet.
It appears that the patch mentioned earlier was correctly applied to
/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.paranoid/spamassassin . But there are still
a couple of things to clean up.
In particular, my /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/spamd file (a) is not
named consistently with /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.paranoid/spamassassin
and /etc/logcheck/violations.ignore.d/spamassassin, (b) and (b) contains
the following directive to ignore a log entry which seems perhaps
overly-specific:
Oct 21 13:06:02 localhost spamd[5468]: spamd: processing message (unknown) for
siaco:1000
Also, the ...paranoid/spamassassin file mistakenly misses the
ordinary line "handled cleanup of child pid 5625 due to SIGCHLD".
It also misses "no response" which I believe is triggered from
the ::Plugin::Pyzor module, which again is pretty normal (I assume it
means a Pyzor server was temporarily down). The code reads:
if ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) {
# this exact string is needed below
die("no response\n"); # yes, this is possible
And this also seems to be a pretty ordinary warning that should be
ignored but isn't: "prefork: select returned error on server
filehandle". The code comment for that warning reads:
# errors on the handle?
# return them immediately, they may be from a SIGHUP restart signal
So I would suggest the following patches.

Change the name of ignore.d.server/spamd to ignore.d.server/spamassassin,
and then:
