Hello all.

My spamass-milter INPUT_MAIL_FILTER config in sendmail is as follows:

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin',`S=local:/var/run/spamass.sock,F=T, ...)dnl

Yet when I test this feature by manually shutting down spamassassin (service
spamassassin stop), I still receive messages.  Shouldn't they be temp
failed?

What I see in the logs is 3 failed attempts by spamass-milter (spamc) to
connect to spamassassin (spamd) after which sendmail delivers the message to
the recipient:

May 23 13:57:43 mail spamc[10285]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1
failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused

pri=127244, relay=server.mydomain.local. [10.1.1.2], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Queued mail for delivery)

I absolutely need to have all messages scanned for SPAM - too much of it in
our domains!  What can I do to rectify this issue?

Server config:

OS             - Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 (Nahant)
Sendmail       - 8.13.1-2
spamass-milter - 0.3.1
spamassassin   - 3.1.7 (2006-10-05)
Perl           - 5.8.5-12


Cheers,
AK.
