Everyone,

I have been trying to tweak my spamassassin 2.31  that came with Red Hat 8.0
and noticed that it was not filtering the mail sometimes.  I have activated
spamd/spamc  with the spamassassin script that comes with RED HAT.  The
observation I have made is that when I boot the system spamd is started and
I get no failure notice in the logs, but when I look for it as a process
after about 30 seconds it is gone.  When I use /etc/init.d/spamassassin
start to activate it again it dies again.  The only way I can get spamd to
stay resident is to start it on the command line as spamd -d.

I have included the spamassassin start/stop script below.  Has anyone else
had this problem with 8.0?
