Re: connect(AF_INET) to spamd failed

[DNI Support Department]

Greetings Pat:
Check the following:
1.  /tmp is not full.
2.  The directory where the spamd socket is created has the correct 
ownership (uid, guid) and permissions; if it is not in the /tmp area, then 
also make sure the area the socket is created is not full.

Thank you.
