Hi all, After having spamd exit on me a couple of times (still no idea why), I decided to put spamd under daemontools control (run file below). While this has resulted in the stability I was looking for, I am now presented with a number of growing log/spamassassin files - i.e.:
/service/spamd/razor-agent.log /root/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist /root/.spamassassin/bayes_journal /root/.spamassassin/bayes_seen /root/.spamassassin/bayes_toks My question breaks into several parts; 1. The startup script from the FreeBSD port for spamd ran the service as root - is there any reason not to switch spamd to the qpsmtpd user/group? 2. Is there a way I can put the razor-agent.log into multilog? If not, how do I rotate this log file? 3. My experiance with Bayes and AWL on amavisd-new is that these files will only grow, what is the proper approach to pruning this data? 4. I am considering using an external Mysql database for my Bayes database - how much should I expect this to trash my server, and what is the proper approach to pruning this data? Thanks in advance, Max #!/bin/sh exec 2>&1 \ sh -c ' exec \ /usr/local/bin/spamd \ -x \ --socketpath=/var/run/spamd/spamd \ -s stderr ' -- Max Clark http://www.clarksys.com
