One problem was that NSCD (Red Hat Linux 7.3) had died, and LDAP wasn't
responding quickly enough to take up the slack. This was causing Exim to report
configuration errors because some of the trusted_users are defined only in LDAP.
Maybe this was causing errors in SpamAssassin (actually spamc/spamd) also?
Thanks,
John
