[exim] Spamd problem - connection timed out

Hello,

We are running exim 4.51 and spamassassin 3.0.4, and in our panic log we
are seeing many of these messages:

2005-06-20 10:18:57 1DkIOn-0004mM-Rt spam acl condition: error reading
from spamd socket: Connection timed out
2005-06-20 10:26:48 1DkIWO-0005Hl-QJ spam acl condition: error reading
from spamd socket: Connection timed out
2005-06-20 10:34:46 1DkIe5-0005lc-B3 spam acl condition: error reading
from spamd socket: Connection timed out
2005-06-20 10:42:35 1DkIlc-0006Ht-6D spam acl condition: error reading
from spamd socket: Connection timed out

As can be seen they occur every few minutes - in fact about every 8
minutes during the day! At nighttime they only occur every so often.
I'll see if I can investigate further but I wondered if anyone had any
obvious answers?


Thanks,

John.
