This means, something already runs on port 783, quite possible it's spamd.

This means, spamd is not allowed to listen on port 783.
Only privileges user (root) can use port numbera <1024, did you try to run 
spamd as orginary non-privileged user?

People asked you multiple questions, but you rarely answered them.
How do you expect us to help you if you don't answer our questions?

AI won't help you if you don't provide it information.
AI does not understand anyone, it just completes most probale answers from 
internet. It often provides incorrect information and makes stuff up.
