I got my mail server able to send and receive mails, now working on setting up adjacent applications.
Atm, stuck on spam assassin. It doesn't appear to be filtering any spam. =/
I suspect this is my problem, when I type: spamd -D
I get the following message..
Code: Select all

Anyone familiar with spamassassin, able to give tips or hints?
I get the same warning about socket already in use, when I check my /var/log/mail.log.
Oh last thing, I have been using this tutorial for setting it up. More or less, everything had simply just worked before with a minor changes.
https://vorkbaard.nl/installing-a-mails ... amassassin
I went through and double checked, and ensured that there was white spaces where required, and that everything was correctly entered. My eyes the biggest causes of my programming problems =)
Thanks in advance, I will keep trying to figure it out.
EDIT: I was able to figure this out, but can't really say how. I think it was based on the simple fact that I was sending the email from my own email server (to myself), and I guess it was whitelisted (my localhost). I know you are supposed to send the spam from an external email, but many email server (at least my current email address) will filter it before it even gets sent!
