Hey there folks,

I'm trying to have spamd listen on port 783 on my local machine, and on port 
784 under FreeBSD 14.4.

Startup args include: --port 783 --ssl-port 784 --ssl --server-key 
/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin.key --server-cert 
/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin.crt

As a result I get spamd only listening on port 784.

Oh, after carefully looking at the manpage, it cites "--ssl-port number" without a space, and "--port=number", with a space.

Holy inconsistency, Batman!

I've tried both, still no joy.

With "-p 783 --ssl --ssl-port 784" I still only get a 784 listener.

(And with --ssl-port=784, which isn't mentioned, but which I tried anyway)
