Socket Connect Failure: Connection Refused #25

Closed PrasannaVenkadesh closed 5 years ago

PrasannaVenkadesh commented 5 years ago

I have setup a mail server using mail-in-a-box, which in turn installed spampd. spampd is running in the background, but all incoming emails don't get delivered to the respective inbox.

Upon inspecting the log found out the following line which causes this to fail

spampd[1944]: WARNING!! Error in process_request eval block: /usr/sbin/spampd: socket connect failure: Connection refused

it appears that the application is not listening on port 10026.

The error indicates that spampd could not connect to the relay destination server (presumably Dovecot but I don't know your setup). It seems most likely this is a configuration error, not due to spampd itself. We can reopen this issue if you can determine the failure is in spampd specifically. It may help to add the --debug option in the spampd service startup config file. I cannot help with mail-in-a-box setup issues.

@mpaperno Thanks for pointing out. I mistook port 10026 is bound by spampd and thus the confusion. I had modified some part of dovecot configuration from mail-in-a-box setup and missed out to enable lmtp and hence the error.
