I just installed Spamassassin today on my Postfix email server and
don't understand why I am getting errors in my logs. It's not working
and I can't start the service for some reason...

I am unable to start the spamassassin service daemon because I get the
following error:

[r...@mail ~]# /etc/rc.d/spamd restart
:: Stopping spamd

                                         [FAIL]

                                         [FAIL]

I followed the installation instructions exactly so I don't know why
Postfix and SpamAssassin are not working together. Anyone have any
ideas?
