    Ok, found a way.
    spamd looks to be not added per default for log rotation.

    Hello,

    You can select "spamd_error_log" for rotation via "WHM >> Service Configuration >> cPanel Log Rotation Configuration". It will then rotate during the next cpanellogd run according to the value configured for "Log Rotation Size Threshold" in "WHM >> Tweak Settings".

    Thank you.

    If you want to empty it quickly do this:
    Code:
    chattr -a spamd_error_log
> spamd_error_log
    You can change it back with +a if you want.
