The complete error shown in my syslog is:

Oct 20 11:41:44 localhost spamd[2155]: dns: sendto() to [127.0.0.1]:53
failed: Connection refused, no more alternatives
Oct 20 11:41:44 localhost spamd[2155]: dns: bad dns reply: Connection
refused

looks like overload of your local resolver

Up until this time I saw no issues. Running SA 3.4.0 on Ubuntu 14.04.1
LTS

Anyone have any suggestions?

sorry, no, but what i face repeatly are messages like below
in fact only if the machine has more than 1 dns in resolv.conf
configure it to just use 127.0.0.1 and that won't happen
