Unfortunately, i'm using a server which hosts several other people/domains, thus i don't have root access. I run it for my own purposes only, under my user id. > Depending on the mail volume we're talking about, maybe you would be better > off using spamassassin instead of spamd? i've been using spamassassin for some time now, but i wanted to change to spamd for two reasons: 1) spamassassin has no logging :( so i can't create cool statistics 2) currently i'm using procmail with a lock file to restrict to only one SA process at a time during incoming email scanning. i'd like to use spamd to run a maximum of 5 processes. i tried removing the lock so procmail runs multiple SA's, but that caused problems when i started receiving ~100 emails per second in bursts which spawned too many SA processes.
