[exim] Still got this error

Hi all,

Apologies for cross posting this on the SA and exim list but there are
many years of experienced linux email managers on the two lists.

I am still frequently getting an error from our cron job. The cron entry
is

service spamd restart

and the log entry is

Feb 4 14:15:00 bill spamd: spamd shutdown succeeded
Feb 4 14:15:01 bill spamd: Could not create INET socket on
127.0.0.1:783: Address already in use (IO::Socket::INET: Address already
in use)
Feb 4 14:15:01 bill spamd: spamd startup failed

Then in the exim log I get

2005-02-04 14:39:01 1Cx4bt-0005qk-JY spam acl condition: warning - spamd
connection to 127.0.0.1, port 783 failed: Connection refused
2005-02-04 14:39:01 1Cx4bt-0005qk-JY spam acl condition: all spamd
servers failed

If I manually type service spamd restart all seems to be ok ,of course
the shut down fails as it never started from the cron job so I get

[root@bill exim]# service spamd restart
Shutting down spamd:                                       [FAILED]
Starting spamd:                                            [  OK  ]

Any thoughts? we have two mail setups and this only occurs on one of
them. (A dell 2650 ,the old dell 2550 running same version of everything
does not get the problem).
