is spamassassin is working

How can I verify that spamassassin is working? Viewing the logs I get these errors.

Oct 24 20:55:11 www spamc[5425]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused
Oct 24 20:55:12 www spamc[5425]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#2 of 3): Connection refused
Oct 24 20:55:13 www spamc[5425]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#3 of 3): Connection refused
Oct 24 20:55:14 www spamc[5425]: connection attempt to spamd aborted after 3 retries

Thank you,

It appears not to be. You should check that spamd is indeed running. if it is running, then assuming you've configured it to modify message headers, you should see X-Spam-status and the other SpamAssassin headers in delivered mail.

spamd is running:
root 2919 1 0 Oct24 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -a -m5 -H

I fwd'd some erectile dysfunction email to SPAM@mydomain.com but I never saw it appear in any of my mailboxes...

Maybe you can help, what do I need in my $HOME/.procmailrc so that spam gets directed into my junkmail mailbox?

here is my current .procmailrc

Code:

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH="$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/include:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin"
LOCKFILE=$HOME/lockfile.lock
ASSASSINLOCK=$HOME/assassin.lock
DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/
JUNKMAIL=$HOME/Maildir/.junkmail/
TRASH=$HOME/Maildir/.Trash
BITBUCKET=/dev/null
LOCKTIMEOUT=10
LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log
#LOGABSTRACT=no
#VERBOSE=no
