# /etc/default/spamassassin # Duncan Findlay # WARNING: please read README.spamd before using. # There may be security risks. # Change to one to enable spamd ENABLED=1 # Options # See man spamd for possible options. The -d option is automatically added. # SpamAssassin uses a preforking model, so be careful! You need to # make sure --max-children is not set to anything higher than 5, # unless you know what you're doing. # We run spamd as the user "spamd", which was created specifically for running # spamd, using: # adduser --system --home /var/lib/spamd --disabled-login --disabled-password spamd # By default, spamd runs as root, dropping privileges to whatever username the # client claims to have, which is not-so-secure IMHO. There shouldn't be any # any clients other than exim that can access spamd, but since we don't store # any user preferences, let's just run as an unprivileged user. OPTIONS="--create-prefs --max-children 5 --username spamd" # Pid file # Where should spamd write its PID to file? If you use the -u or # --username option above, this needs to be writable by that user. # Otherwise, the init script will not be able to shut spamd down. PIDFILE="/var/run/spamd.pid" # Set nice level of spamd #NICE="--nicelevel 15" # Cronjob # Set to anything but 0 to enable the cron job to automatically update # spamassassin's rules on a nightly basis CRON=1
