spamd.service failed because a configured resource limit was exceeded

[A Hartonian]

Hello,

Spamd is restarting constantly but failing to recover.

The output of:

systemctl restart spamd

is:

spamd.service failed because a configured resource limit was exceeded

When I issue command:

systemctl status spamd.service

I get:

● spamd.service - Apache SpamAssassin™ deferral daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/spamd.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)

Note that both Enable Apache SpamAssassin™ spam filter and Enable Apache SpamAssassin™ Spam Box delivery for messages marked as spam (user configurable) are enabled in tweak setting. I also installed OSM from Configserver.com

I would appreciate your insight.

Thank you

Unfortunately that did not help. Should I continue on that topic?

It did though, as it was revealed you can't reach mx1-he-de.apache.org - let's continue in that thread
