# Change to one to enable spamd
ENABLED=1
OPTIONS="--create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir"
# Set nice level of spamd
NICE="--nicelevel 19"
# Cronjob
# Set to anything but 0 to enable the cron job to automatically update
# spamassassin's rules on a nightly basis
CRON=1
Note that there had been a post somewhere for using a spamd -4. Adding that
option enables it to start up!
So a workaround for this bug may be to append " -4" to OPTIONS.
