sendmail / spamassassin services

[Andy Norris]

I'm running MailScanner 4.36.4.

Last week the list educated me that sendmail should not be running on its
own, and neither should spamassassin. I upgraded to spamassassin 3.0.1, but
what I'm seeing in the maillog is the connection to spamd being refused.

So we're back to virtually no spam filtering...

Dec 10 13:44:40 tireswing spamc[22597]: connect() to spamd at 127.0.0.1
failed, retrying (1/3): Connection refused
Dec 10 13:44:41 tireswing spamc[22597]: connect() to spamd at 127.0.0.1
failed, retrying (2/3): Connection refused
Dec 10 13:44:42 tireswing spamc[22597]: connect() to spamd at 127.0.0.1
failed, retrying (3/3): Connection refused

This from the logs.

What am I missing?

thanks,

Andy
