Subject: Spamd Question


Hi there,

I've got a little issue with spamassasin. The new version 3.1.0 has been
released but when I run spamd it keeps on resprawning itself infinatly. I've
attached a text file containing messages and syslog for you to have
butchers.

Cheers and all the best

Steve...
