I put this on the command line, and immediately after restarting spamd, it gave me the following messages in /var/log/mail/errors:
Oct 13 21:45:46 Dingo spamc[5596]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#3 of 3): Connection refused
Ah-ha!
Try it without daemonizing and you'll get the error message telling you what's going on.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /root]# spamd -c -m 5 -u root fatal: cannot run as nonexistent user or root with -u option
So apparently they decided to add code to prevent people from using -u root, which is a security issue.
Try setting up a spamd user and use that, but make sure it's a real account with a real home directory.
I did verify that:
spamd -d -c -m 5 -u mkettler
does work and load correctly:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /root]# spamd -d -c -m 5 -u mkettler [EMAIL PROTECTED] /root]# ps ax |grep spamd 10421 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m 5 -u mkettler
