procmail: Could not create INET socket on 127.0.0.1:783: Permission denied

[pr...@gmx.net]

Hello,

I set up spamassassin to work with procmail according to instructions.
Here is what is in ~/.procmailrc:

#========SPAM ASSASSIN SECTION================

:0fw: spamd.lock
* < 256000
| /usr/sbin/spamd

:0:
* ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
almost-certainly-spam

:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
probably-spam

:0
* ^^rom[ ]
{
  LOG="*** Dropped F off From_ header! Fixing up. "

  :0 fhw
  | sed -e '1s/^/F/'
}

#=======END SPAM ASSASSIN SECTION==================


However spamd is failing to run.  This is what I see in the procmail
log:

procmail: Unlocking "/home/user/.lockmail"
procmail: [19772] Mon Jul 11 11:18:53 2005
procmail: Match on "< 256000"
procmail: Locking "spamd.lock"

              ^^^^^ The spamd tool is run as a daemon. You want spamc
here. Start spamd in Mandrake, RedHat, and I believe SUSE with the
"chkconfig spamassassin on;service spamassassin start" mantra if a
"service spamassassin status" does not report it is running.
