Hi Gabriel,
If your spamassassin server needs to be accessible from outside, you need to start the spamd with the -i , otherwise it will listen only on 127.0.0.1. In Debian/Ubuntu, you can add this flag to the OPTIONS variable in the /etc/default/spamassassin file.

Hello
looks nice but i have this error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘SpamAssassin_Client_Exception’ with message ‘Could not connect to SpamAssassin: Connection refused’ in…

i believe this is because connexion from outside localhost are not permitted (spamd is up and listening on 127.0.0.1 783

how can i fix this ? Muit Obrigao

Nice work! It’d be super to see this go into the main PEAR channel itself, tbh.

@HKS: Hmm… don’t know about that, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Spamassassin’s rules are focused on email spam, analyzing headers + body. You’d need to tweak your spamassassin to only use only rules that will be applied to the body of the message. If you are using WordPress, I’d recommend using a plugin like Akismet.
