Run "spamd -D -L -S >>> log &" if you want, it has essentially the same effect.
Thanks, that resolves something that seemed quite a mystery to me. Maybe it is made clear in man spamd but I sure missed it if it is. To be sure, someone else had posted something very similar in response to an earlier comment of mine about the debug output, but I didn't follow their suggestion and try it without -d. You call it well behaved daemon behavior but I think it really should be considered a small bug. A documentation bug if nothing else.

It will also pass the > -D option on to SA to tell it to log.. It doesn't work like that though, as verified by Duncans comments. On my setup `mail' is sent to /var/log/maillog, but no debug info shows up there. Even a syslog entry like: *.debug /var/log/debug Fails to show it (except for restarts) So I think Duncan has hit it, in that -d (daemonize) silences the debug output. Although that doesn't explain why one still sees restart output. Maybe that isn't considered debug info. _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
