I am getting many many pop these errors:

How fun... A segfault: something in a worker spamd process ( a child
of the master spamd process reporting the error) tried to access a
completely bogus memory address.
IMHO spamd shouldn't segfault in anything like normal circumstances.
It's a Perl script, so most of the easy ways to segfault are blocked
by how how Perl interprets and precompiles the script.
It doesn’t appear to be affecting mail delivery, but still, I’d
like to avoid them.
Is any scoring being done?
Yes, Spamassassin-milter is checking incoming mail and some few
messages are getting encapsulated into safe-report mails (though I
don’t have any of those in the last 24 hours, I never have very many
since I am aggressive about deleting a lot of spam before it even gets
o the Junk folder.
It is possible this is hitting on specific mails (ones too large,
perhaps?) or that it is a new problem since I updated some packages
earlier this week.
/usr/local/bin/perl -T -w /usr/local/bin/spamd -c -Q -u spamd -H
/var/spool/spamd -d -r /var/run/spamd/spamd.pid
Though o don’t recall how those options are set (they are not in
rc.conf like spamass-milter)
That's the normal place on FreeBSD, but you might have set options in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/sa-spamd
Evidently these ar the default flags:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/sa-spamd:
# Set defaults
: ${spamd_enable:="NO"}
: ${spamd_flags="-c -Q -u spamd -H /var/spool/spamd"}
Seems like a strange set of defaults to me.
Indeed: it looks like that is controlled by a non-default build-time
option in the FreeBSD port. See
/usr/ports/mail/spamassassin/files/sa-spamd.in and maybe report the
issue to the port maintainer (or package builder, if you used the binary
package.)
