Hello, Also, my spamd is currently running like this:
/usr/sbin/spamd --create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir -d --pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid Should I remove the "--create-prefs" option to stop it creating preferences for people who don't want them? Are there any other options I should be using? Thanks again, and I apologise for my ignorance ;-) Richard. -- Richard Hobbs (Systems Administrator) Toshiba Research Europe Ltd. - Speech Technology Group Web: http://www.toshiba-europe.com/research/ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1223 376964 Mobile: +44 7811 803377 > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Hobbs > Sent: 11 July 2005 12:51 > To: 'Exim Users' > Subject: RE: [exim] Per-User SpamAssassin config > > Hello, > > Thanks for the info people :-) I tried Tim Jackson's guide, > and it looks > great, but the link to the webpage on "dman.ddts.net" no > longer works, and > google's cache of it has gone too.
