    Any ideas why spamd keeps on failing? Should I just stop using it? (If so how do I turn it off?)

    It's been gradually getting worse, started getting the emails a few months ago but recently it's built up into getting a few of these emails an hour :eek:

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks - I've tried that, will let you know how it goes. Do you know how I can deactivate Spam Assasin if I need to? I don't think anyone uses it on my server anyway. I tried it a while back and it hardly stopped any spam :-/

    Nope... still getting them :(

    I've disabled it for now as it adds a lot of load in the day time (Main >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings >> then unchecked and saved). Will see if there's any more help and will try it again in the evening.

    Any other ideas? I updated perl and the kernal last night.

    Hi Andy

    I searched the forums too - although looks like you got better results (shame google can;t index the pages, I usually use it to search specific forums).

    I'm gonna try this now:

    I already upgraded perl to 5.8.8.

    Will keep updating the thread. Cheers for your help.

    solution

    Hiya Guys,

    Fixed this issue by upgrading the Mail-SpamAssassin to the latest version. Try the following steps ,

    wget http://mirror.uta.edu/CPAN/authors/id/F/FE/FELICITY/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.4.tar.gz
    tar -xzvf Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.4.tar.gz
    cd Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.4
    perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=$HOME
    make
    make install
    chattr -ia /usr/
    chattr -ia /usr/bin
    mv spamd/spamd /usr/bin/
    mv spamc/spamc /usr/bin/
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/exim restart
    /scripts/restartsrv spamd

    Hope this will work for you guys also : -)

    First uninstall Spamassassin.

    WHM > Service Manager > spamd
    WHM > Tweak Settings > SpamAssassin

    Then disable it in the Feature Manager > Edit disabled and untick it.
    Then you need to remove it from any accounts that have it enabled in your /home partition(s):

    find /home/ -name .spamassassinenable -maxdepth 2 | xargs rm -fv

    Install Spamassassin using the following steps.

    WHM > Service Manager > spamd
    WHM > Tweak Settings > SpamAssassin
    Then Enable it in the Feature Manager > Edit Enable and tick it.

    perl -MCPAN -e 'install Digest::SHA1;'
    perl -MCPAN -e 'install Mail::SpamAssassin;'
    perl -MCPAN -e 'install Mail::SpamAssassin::NoMailAudit;'
    rm -Rf /home/.cpan
    rm -Rf /root/.cpan
    rm -Rf /root/.cpcpan
    /scripts/updatenow
    /scripts/perlinstaller
    /scripts/perlinstaller --force HTML::Tagset
    /scripts/fixspamassassinfailedupdate
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/exim restart
    /scripts/restartsrv spamd

    This will fix the issue

    Spam Assassin broke on my box after upgrading to V11. This fixed it. Many thanks.
