Hi,
netstat -lnp | grep spamd
Does not find spamd.
instead netstat -lnp shows the process running on port 783:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:783 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
24813/perl
and gives it the name perl since:
ps aux
spamd 24813 0.0 3.8 21676 19904 ? S 15:26 0:00
/usr/bin/perl -T -w /usr/bin/spamd -d -D
I can also telnet into spamd.
Does the failure have anything to do with the ... 24813/perl where perl
should be spamd? I wonder.
Thanks for the help. I wonder when the spam gods will give me a break.
Regards,
Phillip Lucs
