I think it's your SpamAssassin Server service that stopped, just need to restart it? If you are on cPanel server /scripts/restartsrv_spamd

Uptime: 276 days, 6 hours, 13 seconds Has the server never been rebooted in almost a year?

A one-time service failure isn't a big deal. It's something that is worth investigating, but it looks like it was out of memory. It's more when you get services that continue to fail restart-after-restart that you need to take a deeper look into specifically what the problem is.

You may be better with a reseller account rather than managed vps if you don't know much about server management.

Do you feel better copy/pasting other people's comments?
