Are you using a milter to integrate Sendmail and SpamAssassin ? Which software has created `/var/run/spamass.sock` ? SpamAssassin doesn't understand Milter protocol, you need a glue software to integrate Sendmail and SpamAssassin, some info are available at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPAMASSASSIN/IntegratedInMta Cheers Giovanni
