The milter is started from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and by default it is started as user maillnull. So is it all right to start it like this: $ cd /usr/local/ (this is where I have lots of free space) $ su # /usr/local/libexec/dkim-filter -l -p inet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -P /path/to/pid -x /path/to/config/file In other words if I am in /usr/local/ and start the milter from there as root, will the dump be put in /usr/local? I appreciate your patience with me. My primary responsibilities are not IT-related. I simply hope to solve this issue.
