Re: [spamdyke-users] installation question

[Sam Clippinger]

-f is the same as --config-file; it's just the short form of the 
option.  You can use either one.  However, your second example is 
incorrect.  The equals sign is not allowed on the command line (spamdyke 
will assume the configuration file is named =).

Just to make things a bit more confusing, the equals sign _is_ required 
in a configuration file.  By using the config-file directive, one 
configuration file can reference another.  In that case, your 
spamdyke.conf file might contain a line like this:
config-file=/etc/spamdyke.secondary.conf

 /usr/local/bin/spamdyke --config-file = /etc/spamdyke.conf \

Re: [spamdyke-users] permissions for spamdyke binary

[Sam Clippinger]

The binary does not need special permissions; it only needs to be 
executable by the mail server user.  DO NOT mark it setuid root -- it 
doesn't need those privileges and it would be a significant security hole.

spamdyke uses syslogd's LOG_MAIL facility, so its messages go whereever 
syslogd is configured to send them.  Check /etc/syslog.conf.  The 
upcoming version includes an option to send messages to stderr instead 
of syslogd so they'll be caught by the multilog process along with the 
qmail log messages.
