It's not clear that the options aren't used. What does quark.gushi.org
resolve to on that machine? ie: the output of 'host quark.gushi.org' and:
perl -e 'use Socket; @addrs=(gethostbyname("quark.gushi.org"))[4]; print
inet_ntoa($addrs[0]),"\n";'
%perl -e 'use Socket; @addrs=(gethostbyname("quark.gushi.org"))[4]; print
inet_ntoa($addrs[0]),"\n";'
addrs: Undefined variable.

Interesting. I never knew there was a spamc.conf file.
Added feature in 3.1.
spamc: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3):
Connection refused
My guess is that the host resolves to 127.0.0.1.
No, it doesn't, it resolves in both normal DNS and in /etc/hosts. It was
previously only in /etc/hosts but I made it fully-qualified after this
bug, just in case.
Didn't help.
Additionally, the options ARE used because the connects go to the right
machine when the argument is on the command line AND no config file
exists.
This is in defernce to the manual, which states that command line options
will override the config file.
As always, if you guys want a shell, I'm more than willing to let you do
all the truss/strace testing you like, or run any commands you need me to,
so long as the request comes from a "reasonably respected" member of the
list.
(slightly irritating is that spamc has no documented "debug" or "verbose"
switch, at least in the manpage).
