Spamd Failed

Error : spamd failed @ Tue Jan 28 04:20:06 2008. A restart was attempted automatically.

Here is possible way to fix this problem. It appears to happen because of some bad CPAN links setup through cpanel. This should clear it out and hopefully restart spamd.

Logged in as root via ssh do the following:

rm -rf /home/.cpan
rm -rf /root/.cpan
rm -rf /root/.cpcpan
/scripts/updatenow
/scripts/perlinstaller
/scripts/exim4

/scripts/eximup –force
/etc/init.d/exim restart
/scripts/restartsrv_spamd

Hopes this will fix the issue. 🙂
