Thanks for the clarification Claudio!
May be a suggestion, a quick addition to man 8 spamd in regards "to
enable ip multicast on the systems" might be welcome. I sure overlook
that for sure and looking at the man page again. I see no reference to
it. Obviously, I should have thought about it, but just didn't. I assume
I wouldn't be the only one going forward either.
The following example will accept incoming multicast and unicast
synchronisation messages, and send outgoing multicast messages
through the network interface em0:
the reader should suppose that this will only work on machines which
"enable ip multicast on the systems". and then "man -k multicast" should
get you going...
Thanks. I sure don't want to make a big deal of anything here. I did
read that. Same as in CARP use multicast as well, but in CARP there was
reference to enabling additional feature to make it work. Both use
multicast. In one cast nothing else was needed to make it work, as
Claudio clarify for me earlier, it's done in the kernel for CARP, oppose
to here, witch (uses a raw socket). I accept my stupidity here for sure,
but it just didn't occur to me as I didn't make the link between
multicast use for CARP and multicast use here for spamd-sync that needed
something else, specially that I saw in my tests the helo message when I
start the spamd-sync, but just couldn't see the sync messages at all.
I agree with you, now that I know I can get it going and realize my
stupid mistake. I only pointed out that I may not be the only one. I
even saw the same question not answered on google before and contacted
the person with the same results as well or still not working.

So, I did my homework, just a simple hint would have helped me.
I simply didn't put 2 and 2 together here.
Thanks all and many thanks for your time as well.
Best,
Daniel
