Well, in addition to that, the departmental mailer here has an hourly
cron task that tests to see if spamd has died, and restarts it.
Basically the cron task issues a prepared spamc command and checks the
result.
At one time, spamd was failing every day or few, and this cron task
was doing a useful job; but at the present time it's very rare to see
the cron task actually needing to restart spamd.
But it's comforting to have it there, nevertheless.
