>From the messages I've seen recently on this subject, I don't think I'm the
only person who can't get the spamc/spamd combination working. I'm using SA
v2.11 on a Mandrake 8.1 system with perl 5.6.1. (Well, now I'm running
2.20. See below.)
If I run spamd from a terminal window as root like so:
spamd -D -L
I can feed it spam via spamc to my heart's content and it all works as
expected. (In fact, I fed it about 23,000 saved spams earlier. It
identified 19,000 as spam and 4,000 as not. But that, as they say, is
another story.)
Confident that I wasn't screwing up too badly, I modified the distributed
RH/Mandrake start script so it invoked spamd like
daemon spamd -d -c -a -D -L
(I just added the -D and -L flags.) I then fed it a single message I had
saved that SA had already marked as spam like so:
spamassassin -d < spam.txt | spamc | less
The message came out with no SA markings. Furthermore, where the manually
started spamd ripped through the messages like a hot knife through butter,
it took about 30 seconds before less showed me the message.
I took a look in /var/log/syslog. It showed a whole raft of debug messages
when it started:

May 16 20:00:19 localhost spamd: spamd startup succeeded
After that, all it gave me was a single line for each invocation of spamc:
May 16 20:00:40 localhost spamd[19358]: connection from localhost.localdomain [
127.0.0.1 ] at port 33642
I tried once more, this time modifying the spamd command line like so:
daemon spamd -d -D -L
That worked. (Ran fast, qualified the message as spam.)
One more try, this time getting rid of -L. It ran slower (about six seconds
to display), but did mark the message as spam.
Upgrading to 2.20 didn't help with the -a problem, so for now I'm running
spamd with the "-d -c -L" set of flags.
Thx,
