Jack, Thanks for the suggestion, I may indeed do that, but at the moment spamd isn't generating any messages after its startup. (unless I telnet to it)
I start spamd with a script that came with the rpm package from SuSE in /etc/init.d, the options are specified in the file /etc/sysconfig/spamd, and I currently have SPAMD_ARGS="-d -a -L -D -x -u vscan", and /etc/init.d/spamd does: startproc -p /var/run/spamd.pid $SPAMD_BIN $SPAMD_ARGS Paul Hilton On Tue, 2004-12-07 at 10:01, Jack L.
