Hello,

How often is this cron job executed?

If you want to see what the problem was you can apply the attached patch
and recompile/reinstall.  Something like:

  $ tar zxf imapfilter-2.2.2.tar.gz
  $ cd imapfilter-2.2.2
  $ patch < patch-2.2.2-socket.diff
  $ make && make install

Then run again with the newly installed version to get more verbose
error reporting.
