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? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
