Package: spamassassin Version: 3.3.1-1 Severity: normal I've got a cronjob which does this every night:
0 5 * * * root /etc/init.d/spamassassin restart > /dev/null For a few days now (possibly related to a new cron or syslog), It has started outputting this error message: From: Cron Daemon <r...@hostname> To: r...@hostname Subject: Cron <r...@hostname> /etc/init.d/spamassassin restart > /dev/null May 17 05:00:04.459 [26971] warn: logger: failed to add syslog method: logger: syslog initialization failed The same thing happens when I restart spamassassin manually on the command line. I'm guessing something isn't quite right in the init script...
