I did decide to ask Ai regarding the above issue with SpamAssassin 
attempting to access a socket; although in my back and forth 
conversation with Ai. All of it's suggestions failed. How do I get the 
command `spamd` to access the socket as to run in the background. 
Without it operating, I cannot proceed ahead with anything else ?
