spamass-milter -- connection refused error

[Burhan Khalid]

Hello everyone:

  I have googled, searched, IRC'd and read the fine manual on this one, 
but I still have come up blank.


  System is FC4 box, and the following give you version information and 
error information:

Now, can someone help me solve this problem please? I don't know what 
permissions are to be set, or where to go to solve this.  I already 
verified that spamassassin is not the problem by checking a message 
using spamc. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Burhan
