On that note, is it best to just run spamd standalone in the background or
inetd (not interested in using daemontools unless it's really needed).  It
seems to like standalone fine, but I don't see anything re: this in the
docs.

I understand not wanting to run daemontools unless you have to, but it really is the best way to do it. You get very nice memory management, and if spamd dies daemontools will just start it up again (and protect against looping die/restarts).

Daemontools isn't/shouldn't be necessary to run spamd. In fact, the system on which I run spamd doesn't have anything called "daemontools" (or "daemon-tools") installed on it.

I didn't say it was necessary, but it's nice. Right now what do you do if spamd goes down? The only thing you can do is run "while true; do spamd; done". And what do you do when it decides to gobble all available memory?

Matt.
