I have SpamAssassin disabled but I'm seeing entries like these in the maillog every few minutes: May 5 07:48:02 vps17124 spamc[29943]: connect to spamd on ::1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused May 5 07:48:05 vps17124 spamd[18924]: zoom: able to use 999/1002 'body_0' compiled rules (99.7%) May 5 07:48:07 vps17124 spamd[18924]: spamd: server started on IO::Socket::INET [#177_]:783 (running version 3.4.1) May 5 07:48:07 vps17124 spamd[18924]: spamd: server pid: 18924 May 5 07:48:07 vps17124 spamd[18924]: spamd: server successfully spawned child process, pid 29946 May 5 07:48:07 vps17124 spamd[18924]: spamd: server successfully spawned child process, pid 29947 May 5 07:48:07 vps17124 spamd[29946]: spamd: connection from localhost [127.0.0.1]:40744 to port 783, fd 5 May 5 07:48:07 vps17124 spamd[18924]: prefork: child states: BI May 5 07:48:07 vps17124 spamd[18924]: prefork: child states: II May 5 07:48:07 vps17124 dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured, session= May 5 07:48:08 vps17124 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<__cpanel__service__auth__imap__pi76d040pfwnqakj64wkjxs_di2oqxieg0y61trydjzyk4...>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=29958, secured, session= May 5 07:48:08 vps17124 dovecot: imap(__cpanel__service__auth__imap__pi76d040pfwnqakj64wkjxs_di2oqxieg0y61trydjzyk4f3a9abxb9m0mfqygbg): Logged out in=11, out=434, bytes=11/434 I there something else I have to do to get quiet down (or get rid of) spamd?

Hello jmullaney, Thank you for your question about seeing spamd in the logs after diabling Spam Assassin. Yes, spamd still runs even if spam assassin is disabled in cPanel. Did you also Disable "spam assassin" and "monitoring" on the "Service Manager" page of WHM? (You must be logged in as root) Thank you, John-Paul
