Sidney, I did not forget you :)
I just had to find a Windows box where I could do some testing on. I committed
a modified version of the t/* patches. The spamd changes did not go in because
of two reasons:
1. I don't like the idea of adding a parameter to spamd wich is used just for
the regression tests. But don't fear, I know how to do it better, but...
2. You wrote that system("app > file 2>&1 &") does not work under Windows.
When I tested it with ActivePerl under Windows 2000, the redirection did work.
It should work under Windows XP (and probably NT 4.0), too. I don't think we
have to care for Windows 9x (even Microsoft doesn't support it anymore ;-)
What actually not worked was the trailing & to put spamd in the background.
Which is needed because the test scripts need to talk to spamd. I though about
forking spamd manually but then I remembered that fork() doesn't work either.
There was a trick with the start.exe command but that one isn't shipped with
Windows XP anymore (AFAIK). So, do you know any solution how we can send spamd
to the background while our script continues to run?
