Daniel said, "spamd is not running, you've installed it wrong, or something else"
I installed it with apt-get (using synaptic in Fedora Core 2), though it's possible that the install is bad. I get the same results on a separate FC1 box as well, though. Daniel said, "'more' is definitively the wrong way to run this as it adds paging lines, etc. It's also not needed. Just run: "spamc < message" I get the same results. To test my install, I first made sure spamd was running, as follows: > netstat -nlp | grep spamd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:783 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3146/spamd -d -c -a Spamd is running and listening. When I run spamc I get the errors (only on spam, not ham). When I invoke SA directly as follows: > spamassassin -tD < <message_name> The results are correct (ie it tests the message and gives me sane output that matches my expectations). So it seems SA is working. Spamd is running and Spamc calls Spamd, but somewhere in the mix, the results get hosed when the message actually is spam. Weird. Any ideas what I could try next? I am at a loss. -Tom Caudron On Sat, 2004-09-11 at 22:33, Daniel Quinlan wrote: > Tom Caudron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > I've installed SpamAssassin version 2.64 via Synaptic on Fedora Core 2. > > I want to use it to filter spam in Evolution.
