My mail client doesn't seem to be able to get to my spamassassin
server. When I "telnet <sa-host> 783" from the client, I get:
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.
By default, spamd(1) only listens on localhost(127.0.0.1). Check your
spamd(1) startup script to ensure it is listening on an IP accessible
outside the localhost(127.0.0.1).
man spamd
...
-i [ipaddress], --listen-ip[=ipaddress], --ip-address[=ipaddress]
Tells spamd to listen on the specified IP address (defaults to
127.0.0.1). If you specify no IP address after the switch, spamd
will listen on all interfaces. (This is equal to the address
0.0.0.0). You can also use a valid hostname which will make spamd
listen on the first address that name resolves to.
