What is involved in setting up spamassassin to run on a remote machine?

After installing it on hostA (mailserver) and hostB, I get onto hostA
and tweak my procmailrc to have

:0fw: $HOME/spamassassin.lock
| $SPAMHOME/bin/spamc -d hostB.FQDN

... (if spam, then filter)

What does a command line test tell you?

cat your.testmsg | /your/path/bin/spamc -d yourhost.com


And on hostB, I start it up with

$SPAMHOME/bin/spamd -d --syslog-socket=inet -r /var/tmp/spamdnew.pid \
  --allowed-ips=<ip of hostA,ip of hostB>

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.

But I don't even see anything in syslog on hostB.

TIA
