The OPTIONS variable in the service file usually comes from reading a file in /etc/sysconfig. Normally, you would edit that file to adjust the options used in the service file. Take a look at the service file to see which other files it is reading and then look there for the definition of OPTIONS. Simply removing OPTIONS may change other spamd options that were set previously. -- Bowie
