Postfix probably tries to read
/var/spool/postfix/run/spamass-milter/postfix/sock as I do believe the path
is relative to the spool directory.
OK, I'll check that, thanks.
I don't know exactly about ownership and file modes as I don't use
spamass-milter myself, but I would suggest a simplefied version of the path
you choose, unix:/spamass-milter/postfix.sock
OK, again thanks, will try.
You have to create the directory yourself, including the right
ownership/rights.
Um... How do I creat the "sock" part? mksock doesn't exist on this
distribution. Is it a bit like an NFS mount directory? Create an entry and
the software takes it over somehow?
(both postfix as spamass-milter needs access, how exactly
is left to the exercise of the reader:-))
Don't forget to update the milter config accordingly to the full path,
/var/spool/postfix/spamass-milter/postfix.sock
I know where this is on the Postfix side; to which of the many config
directories - and which parameter - shall I be updating, please?
Also please note my upate to this query (I replied to my own email with
additional data) wherein I had noticed that spamd was reporting its
socket, so I tried pluging that into an attempt at smtpd_milter, and got
SOME dialogue between the two systems, but with copious errors - and I
reported those errors. . . So, there's more to this than meets the eye.
It's almost as if one package is looking for a socket and the other is
looking for, maybe, a network port? ...See my other mail for more data.
I DO NOTE, however, that there's something called spamd ... I have NOT
touched it per se; instead, I've started "spamassassin.service" (with
systemctl) and when I check status, it says:
spamd is the daemonized version of spamassassin, spamc is the client, the
milter uses spamc to connect to spamd.
I see - I got PART of that from working with it a little - thanks for the
clarification.
Good luck,

Thanks MJ! Looks like I need some!
