Hy Matthew,

I tried to start the daemon in the way that you said in your e-mail
but the result are the same. For some reason, the daemon goes back to
the command line /usr/bin/spamd -d -u nobody.

Thanks anyway for all the help provided by you and the entire list

One last try... you said the command line is
/usr/bin/spamd -i -d -u nobody --allowed-ips=200.X.X.X,127.0.0.1

Is it, in fact:
/usr/bin/spamd -i -d -u nobody --allowed-ips=200.189.68.248,127.0.0.1

And furthermore, is the IP of the machine 200.189.68.248?

If so, then
        /usr/bin/spamd -d -u nobody
makes sense.

Why?

Because -i is ignored, as it has no interface IP...
And --allowed-ips specifies the default IPs anyway.

From the man spamd page:
"By default, connections are only accepted from localĀ­ host [127.0.0.1]."

And of course, the interface IP addresses are all on the local host.

So that --allowed-ips, though it is parsed, is just a fancy way of specifying 
the default anyway.
