In some cases spamd doesn’t start along with exim in the server. To fix it use the following commands:
sa-learn -D –force-expire sa-update -D /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/spamassassin_dbm_cleaner f/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/fixspamassassinfailedupdate /scripts/restartsrv_spamd
If above does not fix the issue, use the following command in the server which installs spamd:
/scripts/installspam
It is also necessary that interface localhost is UP in the server:
check :
ifconfig| grep l0
if not do:
ifup l0
