Making Spamassassin headway, but hit a snag


The command to start spamassassin on my Rh 8 box has proven to be: "service spamassassin start". When I run that, I get the following error:

Starting spamd: bind: Address already in use at /usr/bin/spamd line 135.
[FAILED]

Looking at that very file, I see that line 135 is this:

bind(Server, sockaddr_in($port, $addr)) || die "bind: $!";

Eh??!! lol, I have little idea what this means... Obviously, it has something to do with BIND, but what that is, I don't know. I'll look into it, but can anyone be of any help with this? Thanks!

Chris

PS. Please go Here to see the original post I made about this!

Smells like your spamassassin is already running. Do a ps aux|grep spam and you'll probably find spamd mentioned.
