I seem to have the same problem! Yesterday I upgraded from 3.0 to 3.1 (to be exact: 3.0.3-2sarge1 to 3.1.7-1~bpo.1 from Debian backports) and now ALL spamds terminate after a while. And I have no clue why!
The worst part is that spamc returns the messages unprocessed if it cannot connect to spamd and thus hundreds of SPAMs slip through. Try to explain that to my users... *sigh* So I wrote a small daemon that checks every 75 seconds whether the SpamAssassin daemons are still running. Every 60-70mins it has to restart them. And this happens not only on 1 server but 25! I wonder why only Jason and me seem to have this problem Grateful for any hint!
