I have Spamassassin installed on Centos 7. It seems to work fine, emails headers are being updated accordingly.

However when I manually restart spamd I get the following messages:

# spamd restart
server socket setup failed, retry 1: spamd: could not create IO::Socket::IP socket on [127.0.0.1]:783: Address already in use
server socket setup failed, retry 2: spamd: could not create IO::Socket::IP socket on [127.0.0.1]:783: Address already in use

spamd: could not create IO::Socket::IP socket on [127.0.0.1]:783: Address already in use

Here are my interfaces (I just replace few octets with ***):

# ip addr show | grep inet
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
    inet 185.43.***.***/24 brd 185.43.***.*** scope global eth0
    inet6 2a01:6e60:***:***::1/64 scope global
    inet6 fe80::250:56ff:***:***/64 scope link

I made a research and I found similar issues, however instead of IO::Socket::IP had IO::Socket::INET6 and affected users were told to remove ipv6 from Spamassassin's config, if they are not using it.

I am not really sure if it is the same issue... however it looks like my server is using ipv6.

Any clue what I can do to fix it?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
