 spamc[5442]: connect to spamd on ::1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused

anyone know the cause of this ?

you are trying to connect to the spamd daemon on IPv6.
Probably only IPv4 is working.

configure spamassassin to only use IPv4
Add in file /etc/mail/spamassassin/spamc.conf:

Code: Select all

-d 127.0.0.1

This worked for me.
