Speed. If you're at the limits of your hardware, and you need to squeeze a bit of extra performance, a Unix socket will provide a slight decrease in overhead for spamc->spamd communication. It's not enough for most people to ever worry about, but I found it actually made a fairly significant difference on a PII/450/512M system at one point. (Converting 300 accounts - each calling spamc via .procmailrc - was an *interesting* task.) -kgd -- Get your mouse off of there! You don't know where that email has been!
