SpamAssassin now recommends an environment variable setting like "export LANG=en_US" be made when unicode support is not needed, for performance reasons, as of the migration to Perl 5.8, which uses unicode by default at some expense to SpamAssassin's performance. I'm trying to figure out the best way to make that setting apply to spamd, the SpamAssassin daemon. From my read of docs and my scan of /usr/local/etc/rc.subr, I don't think throwing the setting into spamd_flags in /etc/rc.conf will work; that would look like this:
spamd_flags="LANG=en_US -c -d -m 3 -r /var/run/spamd.pid"
but I'm hoping either I'm wrong or there's a similarly easy solution.
Reason for interest: I'm running SpamAssassin on an old P166, and as
of my latest port upgrade, its performance dropped dramatically, and
it actually began interfering with day-to-day activities on this old
box. I'm hoping the unicode evasion will help with that, though I
don't know how likely this is.
Hmm, I'm not into rc scripts much, a dunno about the rc.conf flags question.
An alternative, nasty hack/kluge that comes to mind might be to disable the rc script and start spamd from cron with the "@reboot" target, where you could specify your environment vars on the command line <?>
I dunno if that might mess stuff up, in terms of either startup order nor what would happen at shutdown, though.
Like I said, it's kind of a nasty hack. But I'm pretty good at those, it seems.
Good luck.
