SpamAssassin crashed and can't start

[phorium]

We are running CentOS 4.3 and Plesk 8.2.1. This morning, SpamAssassin crashed and I can't get it to start. Watchdog keeps monitoring the service and eventually releases it from monitoring because it can't start the service. Trying to start the service from Plesk freezes the entire control panel.

Since SpamAssassin was down, no mail was being delivered, so I disabled spam filtering and now ALL email is being delivered - but I still can't start SpamAssassin.

Any tips? What is the command line option to start or check the status of SpamAssassin? Plesk isn't giving me any error messages to work from - it just says the service cannot be started.

Thanks!

was there any errors on spamassassin start?:

/etc/init.d/psa-spamassassin start

Also, try to check maillog (/usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog) for any messages from spamd.
