If you can get to it locally, but not remotely, it obviously isn't a
spamassassin issue. You made no mention of your setup. Since you
mentioned you can telnet localhost but not by the domain name, I'm
guessing you're behind a nat router? If that's the case, the problem
is when YOU behind the nat gateway try and telnet to the domain name,
it's trying to telnet to your router, not the computer. Try from
outside the network.
It would help to explain your setup.

My mail client doesn't seem to be able to get to my spamassassin

Trying <sa-host>...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
I can telnet to localhost 783 from localhost but not if I telnet to the
domain name from localhost, it gives me the above error. I have
shorewall turned off.
Thanks in advance.
