First, as mentioned below, I changed startup to add "-i" ie $SPAMHOME/bin/spamd -d --syslog-socket=inet -r /var/tmp/spamdnew.pid \ --allowed-ips=HostA-ip,HostB-ip,127.0.0.1 -i HostB then on HostA, % cat /etc/motd | $SPAMHOME/bin/spamc -d hostB X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.0.2 (2004-11-16) on HostB.fqdn X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-0.2 required=4.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,MISSING_DATE, MISSING_SUBJECT,NONLOCAL autolearn=unavailable version=3.0.2 (HostA had SA v.265 installed, HostB has SA v3.02) and the above indeed spews spamd stuff to syslog on hostB And on hostB, I start it up with $SPAMHOME/bin/spamd -d --syslog-socket=inet -r /var/tmp/spamdnew.pid \ --allowed-ips= It would tell you there is no spamd listening, you have spamc making a tcp connection to spamd on another host that is listening to a socket. You need -i ip.address in your spamd startup.

If you want to redirect your syslog output, do that in syslog.conf.

TIA I'm assuming when you say you "don't see anything", you mean you don't see anything about 'hostA' trying to connect. Do you have a firewall running on the spamd host? You'll need to open up tcp port 783 if you do. Daryl
