Issue Qmail just stops

[greg2017]

Hi there
I am runing Debian 7.11‬ / Plesk Onyx Version 17.5.3 Update #15 on two servers.
On one server Qmail just stops about once a week.
After the update #15 I restarted the server yesterday, this morning Qmail was down.
Anyone a idea? The last problems of Qmail I found were from 2007.

Thanks for your help, Greg

Could you please be more specific? Any error messages in logs, result of throubleshooting? If I'm not mistaken you can't start Qmail service now or what?

I just started Qmail and all is working.
As I am not so experienced, I do not know how to access the logs.
(normaly my linux specialis is doing this)
If you tell me how, I check the logs.
Thanks!

connect to spamd on 127.0.0.1 failed

Please make sure that spamassassin service is up and running on your server.

Thanks, Igor. I understand, but spamassasin als should run all the time. I did not set it off.
I will monitor this.
