Your configuration file currently does not pass a -i option at all. > >>>-- Configuration Files: > >>>/etc/default/spamass-milter changed: > >>>OPTIONS="-u spamass-milter -i 127.0.0.1 -i 192.168.1.0/8 -i 208.113.207.5 > >>>-i 208.113.189.44 -r 8 -I" > >>>SOCKET="inet:10783@127.0.0.1" > >>>SOCKETMODE="" > >>>SOCKETOWNER="" > >>>OPTIONS="-r 6" > >You want OPTIONS="$OPTIONS -r 6" or similar.

Currently, your configuration file is equivalent to this: SOCKET="inet:10783@127.0.0.1" SOCKETMODE="" SOCKETOWNER="" OPTIONS="-r 6" Presumably, you want this instead: OPTIONS="-u spamass-milter -i 127.0.0.1 -i 192.168.1.0/8 -i 208.113.207.5 -i 208.113.189.44 -r 6 -I" SOCKET="inet:10783@127.0.0.1" SOCKETMODE="" SOCKETOWNER="" The second OPTIONS="" statement overrides the first one.
