Good afternoon,
In my server of email it is appears the following error in maillog:
Jul 2 15:16: 56 to mailserver spamc [19271]: connect you spamd on
127.0.0.1failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused

aborted to after 3 retries
when I try for the service of spamassassin appears the following message:
[to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sa-spamd stop
spamd not running? (check /var/run/spamd/spamd.pid).
However the service is twirling and marking punctuation in e-mails. What it
can be happening of wrong?
This can happen if you attempt to start spamd using incorrect parameters
with the startup switches. I know this from experience.
To kill spamd, you have to find its parent process and kill it. Here, I
run on FreeBSD. So, I use:
ps auxwj | grep spamd
One of the things the <j> switch tells 'ps' is to list the ppid (parent
process ID). Thus, I can now do:
kill <ppid_returned_from_ps>
