/var/log/mail.err log being spammed



Greetings all;

I am using procmail for my MTA which also attempts to run the incoming 
stuff thru some filters, like spamc/spamd.

In pursuing an attempt to put dovecot to work as a local server, I find 
my /var/log/mail.err log is being spammed once for every incoming email.

The log looks like this:

Dec  3 10:38:34 coyote spamc[6292]: connect to spamd on ::1 failed, 
retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused
Dec  3 10:38:35 coyote spamc[6303]: connect to spamd on ::1 failed, 
retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused
Dec  3 10:38:36 coyote spamc[6324]: connect to spamd on ::1 failed, 
retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused
Dec  3 10:47:43 coyote spamc[6635]: connect to spamd on ::1 failed, 
retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused
Dec  3 10:47:43 coyote spamc[6650]: connect to spamd on ::1 failed, 
retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused
Dec  3 10:47:44 coyote spamc[6667]: connect to spamd on ::1 failed, 
retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused

Is there a fix for this, like procmail is miss-configured?  First, there 
aren't any ipv6 addresses on my local network, and that looks like an 
ipv6 shortcut addy above.

Help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
