When trying to install Spam Assassin I get the following error, what am I doing wrong?

[root@xxxxx /]# /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m 5
Could not create INET socket on 127.0.0.1:783: Address already in use (IO::Socket::INET: Address already in use)
 
Something is already attached to that port. SpamAssasin might already be running. Do: ps aux | grep spam

See if any spam agent is running. But the problem you are having is something is already bound to that port.
 
I did ps aux | grep spam and got this:

[root@12345 /]# ps aux | grep spam
root 19118 0.0 2.2 26952 22812 ? S May13 0:00 /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m 5

[root@12345 /]#

Does it mean that Spam Assassin is working ok?
