Thanks for the reply richardpl,

Yes, the problem is also very obscure to me. What makes me guess it's a crash is the absence of anything useful in my log file. I simply have a "gap" between the time the process died and when I restarted it manually:
Code:
Jun  6 05:06:25 spamd[96152]: 88.254.50.84: connected (3/1)
Jun  6 07:02:58  spamd[53857]: listening for incoming connections.
Currently, I am more suspecting another application is sending something like "killall spamd" to the system (to kill and restart, I think, Spam Assassin).

Would there be any ways of "intercepting" or logging those kill signals?

Thanks!
