Hello,

I'm trying to get Postfix + Amavis + spamassassin to work. But in my
logs (/var/log/mail.log), I get this error
warning: connect to transport spamassassin: Connection
refused
coming back every minute.

I know the spamd daemon is properly running:

axel(a)sd-1:/$ ps -A |grep spamd
28290 ? 00:00:01 spamd
28295 ? 00:00:00 spamd
28296 ? 00:00:00 spamd

and listening:

axel(a)sd-1:/$ sudo netstat -anp -t tcp |grep spam
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:783 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 28290/spamd.pid

I can even telnet spamd:

axel(a)sd-1:/$ telnet localhost 783
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

So why am I getting this stupid error. If someone can help me, that'd
be nice

Thanks guys

Axel

I'd like to see what your main.cf and master.cf looks like, do you
have port 783 properly configured in each of those?

Thanks

There you go: just to let you know that expect that, everything works
fine, including the amavis + clamav virus scanner.

Ok gotcha,

I forgot a package, that did the trick.
spamassassin is still not working but at last I don't get any error
any longer.

Thanks anyways
