Subject: [gentoo-user] Spamassassin 3.1 now fails...
Date: Thu, 24 Nov 2005 10:19:18 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <438593A6.3070802@shic.co.uk> (raw)

A few days I 'updated world' and spamassassin 3.04 was replaced by 
spamassassin 3.1 - after a few minutes spent migrating my configuration 
(to enable Razor,Pyzor and DCC) all seemed to be working well... but 
then, after running fine for a day or two, the spamd daemon stopped 
responding and started writing an error about "syswrite(7) to the system 
log every few seconds:

line 554.

Subsequently mail was (as far as I can tell) delivered without tagging 
messages.  When I restart spamasssassin (i.e. /etc/init.d/spamd restart) 
the problem disappears - at least temporarily   This is not a one-off 
occurrence - but I do not know what triggers the failure.  On this 
occasion spamassasssin failed reporting syswrite(7) last time it 
reported syswrite(8) but otherwise behaviour was similar.  The time at 
which the failure occurred does not seem to be relevant as while this 
time it was at just past midnight, previously it failed at 15:30.

Does anyone else have this problem with Spamassassin 3.1?
