Hi all,
I have installed SpamAssassin on a FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE box from
/usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin. I am currently reading through
/usr/local/share/doc/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin/USAGE, specifically:
"Test it:
spamassassin -t < sample-nonspam.txt > nonspam.out
spamassassin -t < sample-spam.txt > spam.out
Verify (using a text viewer, ie. "less" or "notepad") that nonspam.out
has not been tagged as spam, and that spam.out has. The files should
contain the full text and headers of the messages, the "spam.out"
message should contain the header "X-Spam-Flag: YES" and be annotated
with a report from SpamAssassin, and there should be no errors when you
run the commands. "
Currently when I follow the aforementioned I run into problems such as:
shell> spamassassin -D -t <
/usr/local/share/doc/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin/sample-nonspam.txt > nonspam.out

Specifically this error concerns me "[ 3] Unable to connect to 216.52.3.2:2703;
Reason: Bad file
descriptor."
Questions:
1. What is spamassassin actually trying to do by connecting to the Razor Discovery
Server ?
2. If it actually needs to do this can it connect via port 80 or 443 ?
This is my first experience with SpamAssassin, so be be light if it is "seemingly"
obvious. ;)
Look forward to your help.
