Will anyone please help me? I've recently had a working sitewide install of spamassassin stop working and it's very upsetting! :(
Many thanks. hugh -------------------------------- -- My problem: As far as I can tell spamd starts correctly, spamc then tries and fails to connect to it and spamd stops running shortly after...
