Usually a SpamAssassin milter can accept additional arguments after ‘--’
that it will pass to spamc. So:

spamassassin-milter ...other args... -- -d 192.168.10.243 -p 34219

Or configure the connection in /etc/spamassassin/spamc.conf, that works
too.

Thanks! Got it to work with this:
EXTRA_FLAGS=" -D xxxxxx.xxx.xxx -- -p 34219"

the man page for spamass-milter says:

-D host
Connects to a remote spamd server on host, instead of using one
on localhost. This option is deprecated; use -- -d host instead.

so, 1. it's deprecated, 2. only uses host.

I'm glad you have fixed that but next time please read the manual page
first.

It is not deprecated and -d is for debug.

in source:
307 cout << " -C RejectCode: using this Reject Code." << endl;
308 cout << " -d xx[,yy ...]: set debug flags. Logs to syslog" << endl;
309 cout << " -D host: connect to spamd at remote host (deprecated)" << endl;
310 cout << " -e defaultdomain: pass full email address to spamc instead of just\n"
311 " username. Uses 'defaultdomain' if there was none" << endl;
312 cout << " -f: fork into background" << endl;
313 cout << " -i: skip (ignore) checks from these IPs or netblocks" << endl;

See the word deprecated in the previous line.

Understand the difference between "-d" and "-- -d".
