Actually, the documentation says: -i [*ipaddress*], --listen-ip[=*ipaddress*], --ip-address[=*ipaddress*] Tells spamd to listen on the specified IP address (defaults to 127.0.0.1). If you specify no IP address after the switch, spamd will listen on all interfaces. (This is equal to the address 0.0.0.0). You can also use a valid hostname which will make spamd listen on the first address that name resolves to. So if you specify -i without an argument, it is not ignored. It tells spamd to listen on 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1. On at least some systems this makes a difference; for example, on Solaris systems if you are trying to connect from a different machine.
