localhost spamc[5898]: connect to spamd on ::1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused

It goes on in my syslog to say

Oct 17 12:45:18 localhost spamc[5898]: connect to spamd on ::1 failed,
retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused
Oct 17 12:45:18 localhost spamd[3255]: spamd: connection from localhost
[127.0.0.1]:36312 to port 783, fd 5

This just started this afternoon at 12:45. It was fine at 11:42

Oct 17 11:42:01 localhost spamd[15511]: spamd: connection from ip6-
localhost [::1]:46178 to port 783, fd 5

I see there was a rules update today at 12:02pm any way that could have
caused this?

glibc have default ipv6 before ipv4, so your error is just that spamd binds 
to 127.0.0.1 and spamc use localhost with is ipv6 first, got it ?

to solve it is naerly a faq
