How long is "too long" for "spamd"?

"spamd" is the daemon of SpamAssassin which actually does the job. And
it is the purpose of a Unix-daemon to run long - ideally from boot up
until machine shutdown (years later ....) without restart.

You should not check the run-time (or age) of a daemon or be prepared
that the deamon runs "too long".
More probably you should disable these tools for deamons and use e.g.
"monit" to automatically restart it if tit goes down (for what ever
reason).
IMHO it is pure PEBKAC: You are using the wrong tools to look after
"spamd" ....
