Hmmm...
Looking at the code, right after the connection is accepted, spamd does a reverse
lookup on the
connecting IP (127.0.0.1 in this case):
my($port,$iaddr) = sockaddr_in($paddr);
my $name = gethostbyaddr($iaddr,AF_INET);
What happens if you run the following script?
perl -e 'use Socket;' \
-e 'print scalar gethostbyaddr(inet_aton("127.0.0.1"),AF_INET),"\n";'
it should spit out "localhost" or some such. If it takes more than a
second or two, you should look at your name resolution setup. Make sure
the proper entries are in /etc/hosts and that /etc/nsswitch.conf is
looking at "files" first via the "hosts:" line.
