Dear Claws Mail user,

I have this error message

"Error The Spamassasin plugin couldn't filter a message.  The probable
cause of the error is an unreachable spamd daemon.  Please make sure spamd is running and accessible"

Indeed no spam message is filtered out.

The Spamassassin plugin is loaded.

In Preferences, I have
Enable Spamassin plugin
Type of transport localhost
user [me]
spamd localhost 783
Process messages on receiving
Mark spam as read
Whitelist senders found in addressbook/folder Any

spamc responds.

Other tests:

% sudo netstat -nlp|grep 783

Where is my mistake?
