I'm running spam assassin on Fedora 21. It installed fine and was working. Then I wanted to start creating procmail rules to move spam labeled email to different folders and SA broke. I removed all the procmail configuration but SA is still broke.
When I start it on the command line I get the following: [root@myhost ~]# systemctl status spamassassin.service -l ● spamassassin.service - Spamassassin daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/spamassassin.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Wed 2015-03-11 23:21:16 EDT; 1 day 9h ago Process: 1333 ExecStart=/usr/bin/spamd $SPAMDOPTIONS (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 1330 ExecStartPre=/sbin/portrelease spamd (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 1333 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Mar 11 23:21:16 myhost spamd[1335]: spamd: server pid: 1335 Mar 11 23:21:16 myhost spamd[1335]: spamd: server successfully spawned child process, pid 1336 Mar 11 23:21:16 mahost spamd[1335]: spamd: server successfully spawned child process, pid 1337 Mar 11 23:21:16 myhost spamd[1335]: prefork: child states: IS Mar 11 23:21:16 myhost spamd[1335]: prefork: child states: II Mar 11 23:21:16 myhost systemd[1]: start request repeated too quickly for spamassassin.service Mar 11 23:21:16 myhost systemd[1]: Failed to start Spamassassin daemon.
