Package: spamassassin Version: 3.4.0-1 Severity: normal Hello,
spamd is emitting loads of this in my msyslog: Mar 13 07:54:31 type spamd[9954]: dns: sendto() to [127.0.0.1]:53 failed: Connection refused, no more alternatives and DNS-based rules do not work. Simply restarting spamassassin gets this error away. I indeed do not have a DNS server on my laptop, and do not plan to. What happens is that when spamassassin gets started at system bootup, /etc/resolv.conf is empty, because I don't have wired network on my laptop, and I only switch on the wireless network later, and thus /etc/resolv.conf contains DNS servers only later. Since spamassassin instantiates Net::DNS::Resolver only once, the late filling of /etc/resolv.conf is not noticed by spamassassin, and thus the DNS resolving errors mentioned above keep happening until I restart spamassassin. So I would say that spamassassin should somehow reload the resolver, to re-read /etc/resolv.conf with the new DNS server information. This has to be done even if /etc/resolv.conf was not empty, since a laptop could move from one wifi network to another, with varying DNS configuration parameters.
