The reason being so that people could use applications to talk to spamd over 
TCP from their mail clients to further manage their Bayesian filters...

I do understand that, but I don't believe that it's listening for outside 
requests the way that spamd does, therefore, the question of if it would be 
possible to both run MailScanner and to have a listening spamd.

One of my clients is asking if it would be possible to use some of the Outlook 
plugins for talking to spamd on the server, which is why I am trying to find 
out if it is just impossible, or maybe possible.
