Subject: [gentoo-user] Spamassassin 3.1 now fails...
Date: Thu, 24 Nov 2005 10:25:01

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

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

32 Does anyone else have this problem with Spamassassin 3.1?
