I think I'm gonna try running it as well. So far it's worked pretty well and I really like the syslog output on trap entries it adds. Since the script only needs higher privileges for spamdb, I'm going to try and run it like this:
rc.local ## BBeck's greytrapper if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/greyscanner ]; then echo -n 'bbecks greytrapper'; /usr/local/bin/setuidgid _spamd /usr/local/sbin/greyscanner fi The process looks likes so: _spamd 25923 0.0 0.3 5492 2264 p0 I 9:35AM 0:00.01 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/sbin/greyscanner Thanks go out to beck@, the continued development of spamd keeps my inbox spam free ;) I had to drop spews level 1 due to false positives so this greytrapper may take the edge off, THANKS !!!!!
