Hi, I am using spamd and told it to listen only on the local interface:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps aux|grep spamd root 1764 0.0 3.0 34456 30672 ? SNs Jun01 0:00 /usr/bin/perl -T -w /usr/sbin/spamd --create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir --syslog=/var/log/spamd.log -q --debug --listen-ip=127.0.0.1 -d --pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid A look on netstat shows, that this is indeed correct: tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:783 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1764/perl But when spamc spawns some children when actually scanning a message those listen on the whole internet: tcp 0 0 localhost:spamd *:* LISTEN 1764/perl tcp 0 0 localhost:spamd localhost:42346 CLOSE_WAIT 10608/spamd child tcp 0 0 localhost:42346 localhost:spamd FIN_WAIT2 10689/spamc tcp 0 0 localhost:42336 localhost:spamd TIME_WAIT - tcp 0 0 localhost:42341 localhost:spamd TIME_WAIT - udp 368 0 *:34591 *:* 10608/spamd child udp 368 0 *:34592 *:* 10608/spamd child udp 368 0 *:34593 *:* 10608/spamd child udp 368 0 *:34594 *:* 10608/spamd child udp 368 0 *:34595 *:* 10608/spamd child udp 368 0 *:34596 *:* 10608/spamd child udp 368 0 *:34597 *:* 10608/spamd child udp 368 0 *:34598 *:* 10608/spamd child udp 368 0 *:34599 *:* 10608/spamd child udp 368 0 *:34600 *:* 10608/spamd child udp 368 0 *:34601 *:* 10608/spamd child udp 368 0 *:34602 *:* 10608/spamd child udp 368 0 *:34603 *:* 10608/spamd child udp 368 0 *:34604 *:* 10608/spamd child What does that mean? All udp connections listen on the whole internet. Is this a bug? Have I configured spamd incorrectly? Any hints are appreciated. Regards Marco
