You have to tell spamd to listen to the IP address of the Ethernet port on your linux box an not just on the loopback address:
netstat -lpn | grep 783 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:783 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 15865/spamd -q -x - I believe it's the -i flag that tells spamd to listen on your ethernet adapter's address.
