Is anyone successfully running the full Mail::SPF perl module, SPECIFICALLY the spfd (daemon)?
I can run it ONLY as a socket, and only if I leave it in the foreground. (Otherwise Exim doesn't seem to be able to query it.) Testing from the command line with NetCat "hangs" when it is run as a foreground process listening on an INET socket (CPU went to 100% until I killed it too.) Exim queries it successfully if it is left in the foreground AND run as a Unix Socket: spfd -path=/var/run/spfd Trying to naively put it in the background with: spfd -path=/var/run/spfd & ...seems to leave it non-responsive. I can find no combination of switches that will put it into the background and leave it functional. $ spfd --help usage: spfd ( -port=5970 | -path=/var/spfd ) [-setuser=(uid|username)] [-setgroup=(gid|groupname)] usage: [ -pathuser=(uid|username)] [ -pathgroup=(gid|groupname)] [-pathmode=mode] usage: spfd assuming -port=5970 1452 will listen on 5970 1452: creating server with args Listen 1 LocalAddr 127.0.0.1 LocalPort 5970 ReuseAddr 1 The client version spfquery seems to work directly and does NOT appear to be able to test the daemon's functionality. -- Herb Martin -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
