SPAMDOPTIONS="-c -m5 -H" Who reads it depends on how your system starts daemons: - some daemons are still managed by a script in /etc/init.d In these cases the script sets its shell variables by using the '.' or 'source' command to override the default options, which are hard coded in the daemon management script, by reading the appropriate file from /etc/sysconfig. If you simply edit SPAMDOPTIONS in /etc/init.d/spamassassin and there a copy of /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin exists, your change will not be acted on because you edited the defaults and these got overwritten when the script read in /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin before it started SA. In Fedora 18 SA is managed this way, so editing /etc/sysconfig/spamassasin is the best way to do it for Linuxes that use sysVinit daemon management. - daemons that are directly managed as a systemd service are a little different. In Fedora 20 SA is now managed as a systemd service. The service definition for SA is /usr/lib/systemd/spamassassin.service, which declares the SA EnvironmentFile to be /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin, so the way to change the SA options is still by editing /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin I'd imagine most Linuxes use a similar set-up, regardless of whether they manage their daemons via systemd or the sysVinit system that Linux originally inherited from Unix. Start by seeing if your setup has a copy of /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin. If so, edit that. Otherwise 'locate' is your friend. Its a lot faster that running 'find . -name spamassassin' from the root directory! HTH Martin
