Hi Guys
 
Ive been messing with my spammassassin setup on my toaster box in an attempt to get it to catch more spam.
Now for some reason it seems to want to run multiple copies of the spamd process. In the spamd log i get this entry repeated quite regularly:
 
error: spamd: could not create INET socket on 127.0.0.1:783: Address already in use
 
I dont know what i could have done to cause this, has anyone got any ideas?
 
There was an issue a while back with this. Allowing the port through iptables was being detected by spamassassin as being "in use" since iptables was answering it to forward it through. The resolution was to block the port in iptables so that spamassassin will not think the port is in use by another program. It did not affect the performance of spamassassin in any way.
