Re: [exim] Failover if spamd fails

Periodic restarts do help.

SpamD tends to die often, with little or no trace of why it happened.
It seems to do have issues in groups -- fine for a month, then issues
for a few days, etc.

I do our scanning via SA-Exim, so if there's no spamd, the test is just
skipped and delivery is routed fine -- I'm alerted when there is spam
in my inbox.

I dont know how it works via exiscan - but normal delivery as a
failsafe isn't a bad idea. I'd rather get spam + messages than wait
hours for someone to discover a problem for me to get any mail at all.
