You need to start 'spamd' something like '--listen-ip=0.0.0.0' (by
default, it listens only to the loopback address 127.0.0.1).

Beware of the security implications. Don't leave that machine (or at
least, port 783/tcp on that machine) exposed to the world (or even a
LAN).

As a Mac OS X user, you ought to familiarize yourself a little with the
'man' command. (Type 'man man' for info). "man spamc" would have
given you the answer you were looking for 2 mails back; "man spamd"
would have given you the answer above.
