Hi Harald,
Could you please check whether spamassassin has crashed again?
The duplicate messages seem to have started once more.

A crude solution to make spamassassin restart if it crashes could be to  
start it with a script, wrap the start command in a loop that can never  
finish.  When spamassassin dies, the command will re-run...
Then you can find the reason it crashes later on when you have time.  
(probably never ;o)

Thanks,

Richard.
