Socket error

I'm running SA-3.1.8 on FreeBSD 6.x and getting the following error in 
the maillog:

pinnacle spamd[67334]: spamd: could not create INET socket on 
127.0.0.1:783: Permission denied

This doesn't seem to affect the operation, but I'd like to fix the 
problem. Does anyone have a suggestion? Spamd *IS* running as root.

TIA

Beech

The most common cause of this is a user calling spamd, rather than 
spamc, from procmail.
