running spamc as follows: spamc -x -d pascal.ctyme.com,mysql.ctyme.com
Using 2 hosts and according to the docs if the first one fails then it trys the second one. But in reality if the first one fails it never tries the second one. Then I added the -H switch and it will alternate between the two hosts, but will never failover.
I think this might be a bug in spamc.
