I'm having trouble with spamd hanging; it seems related to bayes
processing.  When this occurs, mail delivery stops until one clears
the bayes data (sa-learn --clear) and restarts exim, which restarts
spamd.  All is then well until the system is trained on enough ham and
spam to do bayes evaluations.  Then, within a few hours, it will hang
again.  Up until the hang, the bayes classification is correct.  The
trouble is not related to a specific message; training on only newly
received messages does not help.  spamd is running on a VPS account,
invoked as
/usr/bin/spamd -d --allowed-ips=127.0.0.1 --pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid
--max-children=5
SA updated to version 3.2.0 on May 3, but did not start causing trouble
until early June.

There is another minor problem, don't know if it may be related: All
messages are tagged RDNS_NONE.  However, forward DNS by SA is working
(blocklist results are correct), and reverse DNS by other processes is
ok (e.g. last shows correct host names).  The VPS is also a DNS
server, and /etc/resolv.conf points to its own public IPs.  The DNS
server is configured to block external queries from external sources,
but if you query it for a PTR record with dig, nslookup, etc., the
correct results are returned.
