I've seen this a couple of times the last few days in my syslog. Tonight, I
saw it after updating to 3.0.4:

Jun 11 19:38:22 cpollock spamassassin: spamd shutdown succeeded

is it possible that you had some incoming mail that was trying to
connect to spamd even after you shut it down for upgrading?
Prior to upgrading from .0.3 to .0.4 I ran #service spamassassin stop, and
also shut down fetchmail so that nothing was processed, when the update was
finished I started spamassassin and fetchmail. The below is 'not' when I
started SA
Jun 11 19:55:10 cpollock spamd[26754]: spamd starting

Did these appear during the installation process? if so, if you ran
'make test' these are probably the results of that.
This is where I started SA and fetchmail
Jun 11 19:57:21 cpollock spamd[27144]: spamd starting
Jun 11 19:57:21 cpollock spamassassin: spamd startup succeeded
Jun 11 19:57:30 cpollock fetchmail[27167]: starting fetchmail 6.2.5 daemon
Jun 11 19:57:33 cpollock spamd[27146]: server started on port 783/tcp (running
version 3.0.4)
But between 19:55 and 19:57 there is this:
Jun 11 19:55:12 cpollock spamd[26760]: processing message <9PS291LhupY> for
root:0.
Jun 11 19:55:12 cpollock spamd[26760]: identified spam (15.6/5.0) for root:0

Jun 11 19:55:12 cpollock spamd[26760]: result: Y 15 -

scantime=0.4,size=3131,mid=<9PS291LhupY>,autolearn=spam
again, this is probably the results of the 'make test' and actually
running tests against spamd.
I use spamassassin in such a way that I do not use spamd (nor need it)
yet during the 'make test' part of my CPAN install, i see spamd messages
in my maillog (as a result).
I do 'not' have autolearn enabled. Any ideas what may have happened?
Googling the error in the first lines seems to mention something about
spamassassin as a server and spamd not running. Spamd is most certainly
running as shown in running processes.
Sorry for the long msg with log cuts but not sure what, if anything is amiss.
Thanks
Chris
