Thanks Jason - I understood most of that previously, but it's nice to have it summarized so well. I've been starting spamd using /etc/init.d/spamassassin start. This certainly starts spamd, but doesn't give me the option of sending any options like -m 3. I've tried /etc/init.d/spamassassin stop, and I get the expected message that the Daemon has stopped. However, if I simply then try: # spamd -m 3 It hangs with no return to prompt. Is it not OK to just use the -m 3 option?? I do have 512 RAM, but it gets clogged a couple of times a day, and I'd like to try limiting the spamd children. - John
