Dear all, I need your help again about the spamc error. I tell you I'm not using procmail.
In my /etc/default/spamassassin I have this lines: ENABLED=1 OPTIONS="--create-prefs --socketpath -U amavis --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir" PIDFILE="/var/run/spamd.pid" If I define the listen IP and port: OPTIONS="--create-prefs --socketpath -U amavis --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir --listen-ip=localhost --port=783" The spamc connects OK to port TCP/783 but I can't use the amavis tag features I used before. This situation shows me that the problem is between amavisd-new and spamassassin. And I repeat: I've never open port TCP/783 from spamassassin before and the anti spam worked fine. Can you help me please ??? Thanks a lot Alejandro On Mon, May 4, 2009 at 4:53 PM, Theo Van Dinter <felic...@apache.org> wrote: > If you're using amavis, what is calling spamc?
