The daily spamassassin scripts don't do enough, and I had a stuch spamassassin because of that on a recent perl upgrade. I had to rm -rf the compiled code and sa-compile it again to get things to start working back again. amavisd-new keeps a running copy of spamassassin in memory, so you'd only notice that issue when you restarted amavisd-new. It is difficult to know whether an amavisd-new concurrent upgrade with perl or spamassassin would cause it to be restarted sooner or later, depends on your luck. So that might have been the cause, yes. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
