I am trying to get fetchmail, maildrop and spamassassin happily running together, and most things are working except between maildrop and SA. I am getting this message:
fetchmail: reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1 of 1 (1122 octets) #****Could not create INET socket on 127.0.0.1:783: Permission denied (IO::Socket::INET: Permission denied) maildrop: error writing to filter.
the call to SA is xfilter "spamd"
You really should not be calling spamd in your mail chain, as it does not accept email as input. You should be calling spamc.
spamd should already have been started and daemonized by root before hand.
