Hiya Has anyone come across error like these before - spamassassin was working perfect - but a couple of days ago - we got flooded with spam. Checking the logs ... errors like the one below come up 25,000 times :-) ... The only solution i've found to work is to keep restarting spamd on a crond ... a temporary fix ..
