Have you run updates to the server recently? --Potentially a change like this could create problems

Could your maildrop have been updated and dropped support for MySQL?

This was me just Googling for a short while; others may have a better idea............

This is normal as you have killed spamd. So spamc (the client) cannot connect to the server (spamd)
