That doesn't do anything. spamd only reads the config when it starts up. | But just for grins I killed it completely and restarted it. It came | up for a short while then died. Odd, I thought. I restarted it | again with the same result. So figuring it was time to upgrade to | the latest version, I downloaded 2.31 and installed it. Right now 2.30 has much better scores than 2.20. | Again it ran briefly (until it was invoked by spamc, I think) then | died. Seeking more information, I added a "-D" switch for debugging, | and restarted spamd. This time it stayed running when it was invoked | by spamc, with these entries from procmail.log: What happens if you run tcpflow on the port. That will show you the socket interaction between spamc and spamd. (spamd shouldn't die anyways). | It stays running in debug mode, but without the "-D" it expires | quietly and unceremoniously. This is very strange behavior, all of a | sudden. Indeed. Does it die immediately or when you close your shell? Does running it with "nohup" help? | In the meantime, do any of you folks have any explanations for the | problems I'm seeing that do not involve the supernatural? Is there a blue moon out?
