Logwatching seems like the best approach here.

But the kinds of failures I've seen that prompted me to remove redundant 
checks of the spam= condition from my ACLs weren't spamd crashes or the 
like, but rather spamassassin bugs handling particular malformed 
messages (such as attachment bombs). In those instances, the specific 
message would repeatably time out the spamc check, but spamd would 
continue running and subsequent scans of different messages worked fine.
