Last night, I had to do a minor hardware upgrade on my server. Later that night when I checked my mail, I had about 20 spams, when I'd normally get one or two during that time. Overnight, I got about another 30. From the headers, I can see that spamd *is* running and generating scores, but LOTS of spam is slipping through. I tried re-booting this morning, and looking at my syslog, I see this soon after bootup:
