If you get the following error:

--------

Service Check Method:  [check command]

Cmd Service Check Raw Output: Spamd is not running
--------

Fix: You can follow the below mentioned steps to avoid that:

-------
1. Deleted the old file '/var/run/chkservd/spamd'.

2. Restarted  chkservd service.

3. Run the script /scripts/fixspamassassinfailedupdate.
-------

Monitor the logs /var/log/chkservd.log . grep for "Restarting spamd". If you cannot find any such details that means the spamd is running fine now without sending any failure notices.
