Hello all,
I have been noticing an increase in spam levels to our users and so I
started going through the logs and determined that it appears as though
MailScanner and SpamAssassin have not been functioning. My bad I think
but I am now trying to figure out what has gone wrong and most
importantly, how to fix it. Here is what I am finding in the log files:
Aug 25 13:57:53 rosewood spamc[15755]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at
127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused
Aug 25 13:57:54 rosewood spamc[15755]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at
127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#2 of 3): Connection refused
Aug 25 13:57:55 rosewood spamc[15755]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at
127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#3 of 3): Connection refused
Aug 25 13:57:56 rosewood spamc[15755]: connection attempt to spamd
aborted after 3 retries
Then after I updated to the latest MailScanner, I am seeing this:
Aug 25 15:41:59 rosewood sendmail[23231]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root):
opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use
Aug 25 15:41:59 rosewood sendmail[23231]: daemon MTA: problem creating
SMTP socket
Aug 25 15:42:04 rosewood sendmail[23231]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root):
opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use
Aug 25 15:42:04 rosewood sendmail[23231]: daemon MTA: problem creating
SMTP socket
I also continue to see the first set of errors so it appears as
SpamAssassinh is screwed as well. When I run cat /var/log/maillog | grep
MailScanner, I get nothing from the logs.
Any help is truly appreciated. Thanks
Dave
