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.

I think it's not a problem as your spamd listens for localhost/783. What about your spamd logs? Have you checked your firewall (if any) as it looks like your firewall is blocking spamc's connection to localhost/783. You can also try --socketpath directive of spamd with -U option of spamc to enable UNIX domain socket communication instead of TCP socket communication.


Thanks for the help. I wonder when the spam gods will give me a break.

Hi to the group,

Spamassassin is not checking my emails yet. One of the tests that is
failing is the following.

cd /usr/local/src/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63

make test

Which results in the following log file messages.

tail /var/log/mail.err

May  5 23:04:20 emu spamc[24520]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1

May  5 23:04:23 emu spamc[24520]: connection attempt to spamd aborted

What about checking:

netstat -lnp | grep spamd

it should listen on tcp/783

if it's there then spamd is listening for connections and spamc is
unable to connect. Check you firewall rules. Maybe you are blocking the
connections?


I have googled and found that this refers to a case when spamd is not
running, however spamd is running.

ps afx

24813 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/perl -T -w /usr/bin/spamd -x -u spamd -H
/home/spamd -d -D

More googling of the error revealed that reinstalling spamassassin from
CPAN may be required.

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Mail::SpamAssassin'

This revealed that my build was up to date. When I restarted
spamassassin
I still had the same problem.

I am really stuck and need help.

My only though at this stage is that spamassassin is not working since I
have not connected the spamassassin box to the internet.
