Walter,
Thanks for the response. I'm actually not using spamc/spamd; just runningspamassassin from procmail. But anyway, /etc/resolv.conf is world readable and contains valid nameserver entries.No, I'm not running it in a chrooted environment of any kind. There are no dns directive in my local.cf. Any further thoughts?
Try: $ spamassassin -D dns -t <test.msg Mark
