When I did 'strace /usr/sbin/spamd', it will produced a lot of message
in my console. I will show you the last few lines:

setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
bind(3, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(783),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}}, 16) = -1 EADDRNOTAVAIL (Cannot
assign requested address)
write(2, "bind: Cannot assign requested ad"..., 67bind: Cannot assign
requested address at /usr/sbin/spamd line 135.
) = 67
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [], 8)  = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [], 8)  = 0
_exit(99)                               = ?


Below lines is from /etc/default/spamassassin

#strace /etc/default/spamassassin 
strace: exec: Permission denied
execve("/etc/default/spamassassin", ["/etc/default/spamassassin"], [/*
28 vars */]) = 0

For the OPTIONS part in /etc/default/spamassassin

# Options
# See man spamd for possible options. The -d option is automatically added.
OPTIONS="-c"

Thanks in advance
