Can't start SpamAssassin

I just updated all my ports and SpamAssassin was updated. The updates went fine. But when it came to restarting the spamd service with sudo service sa-spamd start I get this:
Code: 
Starting spamd.

When I run ps -aux | grep spamd I get:

Why can't I start SpamAssassin?
 
By the way, I noticed something else, so for future reference:

That should probably have been sudo service sa-spamd [b][highlight]re[/highlight][/b]start.
