Ok. I am running RH 7.1, sendmail (8.12.5), spamassassin 2.31 (spamd deamon), and spamass-milter. I had a problem where the spamass-milter kept creating additional deamons of both itself and spamc.
So, I go to the spamass web site, download the latest package (0.1.1), apply the latest CVS files (one at a time). And then patch it with the patch currently in 349 (after a couple of revisions - thank you very very much - dnelson). It now works! http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/spamass-milt/ Copy Files from the CVS to 349-files/ AUTHORS ChangeLog Makefile.am NEWS README acconfig.h autogen.sh configure.in spamass-milter.cpp spamass-milter.h So: gunzip spamass-milter.0.1.1.tar.gz tar -xvf spamass-milter.0.1.1.tar cd spamassmilter.0.1.1 cp ../349-files/* . # replacing with CVS files patch <349.patch ./autogen.sh make make install #Launch spamass-milter - daemonize it: spamass-milter -p /var/run/sendmail/spamass.sock -f #lauch spamd - daemonize it: spamd -x -d -F 0 # You need to make sure sendmail is compiled with devtools/Site/site.config.m4 to turn on the milter dnl Load Milter APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DMILTER') APPENDDEF(`conf_libmilter_ENVDEF', `-D_FFR_MILTER_ROOT_UNSAFE') # in your sendmail.mc file: - You need to make sure sendmail is compiled with INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin', `S=local:/var/run/sendmail/spamass.sock, F=, T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m') m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc >/etc/mail/sendmail.cf (or wherever you keep your sendmail.cf #restart sendmail to make the changes viable /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart Hope this helps. Good Luck!

We really want to get this working. I know there is a daemon(3). Although I am totally unfamiliar with c++, the code does not appear to be too complex and it probably needs only a couple of lines to make it behave. -----Original Message----- From: Andre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 4:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SAtalk] RH 7.3 spamass-milter hangs I got the same problem with spamass-milter trying to run on a Redhat7.1/Sendmail 8.12.5/amavisd-snapshot-200203 system.
