spam connection failing

[@lbutlr]

I’m not exactly sure what is happening here as I though amavisd handled spam on its own, but I am getting these errors in maillog:

Sep 14 15:40:45 mail spamc[59465]: connect to spamd on ::1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused
Sep 14 15:40:45 mail spamc[59465]: connect to spamd on 127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused

but then I also see message like:

Sep 14 15:22:09 mail amavis[57355]: (57355-05) Passed SPAM {RelayedTaggedInbound,RelayedOpenRelay,Quarantined}, [127.0.0.1] [88.119.161.147] <return at williammullens.com> -> <*munged*@covisp.net> quarantine: spam-GqVw5K3dLb3h.gz, Message-ID: <7e6e003924de6534aba98a9a7019dd1e at williammullens.com>, mail_id: GqVw5K3dLb3h, Hits: 9.04, size: 3016, queued_as: 3sZDyT5vylz1GxHH/3sZDyT60S3z1H0Yr, 1278 ms

So, amavisd is doing its thing, but I keep getting these errors in maillog.

Also, I have $sa_tag_level_deflt  = 2.0; but X-Spam headers are not getting added to any emails that I can find.

I don’t have a spamassassin getting called from postfix:
