However... I'm still not sure why this would be needed (or why it was not workingfor me on one machine until I added this, but was working on another machine without adding this). Actually it's really beginning to bug me that I don't understand what's happening. I have two machines: shuttle and original. The mail server runs on original, which grabs all my mail using fetchmail and then punts most of it off to shuttle (using postfix) which is the one that everyone logs into. Neither machine has spamd running, but both have spamassassin installed and both (now) have exactly the same default setup of config files for spamassassin. When a user collects email (using evolution) on shuttle, spamc has 3 tries at connecting to spamd, then gives up (because it's not running)... then a new spamc (new process) has another 3 tries, and kicks off a spamd which then filters incoming mail. When the user on original collects email (again using evolution, and with exactly the same junk filtering settings as on shuttle) a spamc has 3 goes at connecting to spamd (which is not running), then gives up-- end of story, no spamd kicked off. If I fiddle with the trusted_networks setting in /etc/spamassassin/local.cf on original to include the local 'loopback network' then it will start a spamd-- but I don't understand why this needs to be done for one machine and not the other. Note that the only difference between the two machines that I know about is the number of times that the Spam / Not Spam buttons have been pressed. Anybody got any ideas where to start looking for differences? Has anybody got any ideas where to start looking for differences between the two machines? <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> 127.0.0.1 is my loopbaack Ben > > But you might not (I have one machine for which this apparently made a > difference and one machine that just worked-- I have not fully > investigated though)-- have you started the spamd since installing it? > > > > > Thanks > > > > > > -- > > rjl > -- Ben Edwards - Poole, UK, England If you have a problem sending me email use this link <A HREF="http://www.gurtlush.org.uk/profiles.php?uid=4">http://www.gurtlush.org.uk/profiles.php?uid=4</A> (email address this email is sent from may be defunct) </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>
