I run into this as well, sometimes it will run along great, and then just out of the blue die with no reason or errors that I can find. Actually happened to me this morning, woke up to a pile of spam in my mailbox, and thought guess spamd died off, time to restart it.
I have it running on FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x servers, and now actually 6.x servers, and all of them seem to do this from time to time, and have with any of the SA3.x releases up to the most current 3.0.4 version. FYI, I use procmail to invoke spamc and process via spamd, as sendmail uses procmail as my delivery agent. So though I don't have a solution, your sure not the only one that sees this happen.. :) --- Howard Leadmon > -----Original Message----- > From: Daryl C. W.
