[SAtalk] SpamC question

[Fred I-IS.COM]

I need help from the dev team! In the docs for spamD, it has the following: ---cut--- When spamd receives a connection, it spawns a child to handle the request.  The child will expect to read an email message from the network socket, which should then be closed for writing on the other end (so spamd receives an EOF).  spamd will then use SA to rewrite the message, and dump the processed message back to the socket before closing the connection.  The child process then dies. ---cut---   I'm a little confused with the play of words, for example, one item is not clear for me.   How does SpamD repond back to SpamC?   From the text above, it says that after sending a message over the socket, spamc closes the socket. How is SpamD supposed to dump the message back to the socket if it's already closed from the client end? Is SpamC supposed to start listening on that socket for a response to come back?  If so, what port, I've tried 783, i've tried the localport used to connect to spamd.   Any help would be great, I've read the code but don't understand enough.
