spam connection failing

[Tom Hendrikx]

Hi,

spamc is ran by something else (not amavis). It fails because you don't
have spamd running, which is not necessary for amavis.

The errors are harmless in relation to amavis, but you might try to find
what is calling spamc on your machine.

Kind regards,
	Tom
