Err, the above is wrong. This should instead be

SOCKET="inet:10783"
SOCKETMODE=""
SOCKETOWNER=""

and you should ditch the -p option from your OPTIONS list.

This is because the default socket location is set by the init script
to be /var/run/spamass/spamass.sock; (or
/var/spool/postfix/spamass/spamass.sock on postfix) if you change it
to a non-file socket, you need to do a bit of tweaking to make
everything work properly, since it's obviously nonsensical to chmod or
chown a non-file socket.

I've actually never seen a setup with someone using an inet: socket
for spamass milter, which is why this isn't documented anywhere.
Assuming the above actually works for you (it should), I'll add the
documentation when I get a chance.
