No, there is nothing blocking spamc from communication to spamd. Things
work great when spamd is running as "/usr/bin/spamd -d -u exim".
However, I can make this behavior happen by killing the spamd daemon.
Then it will not communicate, which makes sense, but as you see I get a
defer with the spam check transport because of this and this will stop
delivery of mail.

Any more ideas? Thanks
