i’ve edited the spamc.conf file to the:

```auto
# connect to "server.example.com", port 783
    -d 127.0.0.1
    -p 783

    # max message size for scanning = 350k
    -s 350000

```

from [https://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.4.x/doc/spamc.html](https://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.4.x/doc/spamc.html)

now the

```auto
procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded procmail: Program 
failure (78) of "/bin/spamc" Line not terminated with a newline in 
/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamc.conf

```

doesnt show anymore but i still get:  
`ERROR: Could not connect to clamd on LocalSocket /run/clamd.scan/clamd.sock: Permission denied`

The owner of clamd.sock is clamscan:clamscan permission 0666 and it has 0 bytes changed the folder permission to 0755 and the error is gone.

Solved it, the headers showed up and all the errors are gone:

```auto
