RE: Spamc / Spamd

I start spamd with the following.

=====
#!/bin/sh
#
# spamassassin This script starts and stops the spamd daemon
#
# chkconfig: 2345 80 30
#
# description: spamd is a daemon process which uses SpamAssassin to
check
#              email messages for SPAM.  It is normally called by spamc
#              from a MDA.

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network

# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0

# Source spamd configuration.
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin ] ; then
        . /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin
else
        SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -a -m5 -H"
fi

[ -f /usr/bin/spamd -o -f /usr/local/bin/spamd ] || exit 0
PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
  start)
        # Start daemon.
        echo -n "Starting spamd: "
        daemon spamd $SPAMDOPTIONS
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/spamassassin
        ;;
  stop)
        # Stop daemons.
        echo -n "Shutting down spamd: "
        killproc spamd
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/spamassassin
        ;;
  restart)
        $0 stop
        $0 start
        ;;
  condrestart)
       [ -e /var/lock/subsys/spamassassin ] && $0 restart
       ;;
  status)
        status spamd
        ;;
  *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status|condrestart}"
        exit 1
esac

exit 0

How would I add the debugging to this script.  Is there more definition
on what debugging switches to use and how. 

Thanks

Your call to spamc looks fine. What did you pass to spamd when you
started it?


For some testing on your own, you can try this:

First start spamd with debugging on, maybe even non-daemonized in a
extra 
console.

Then  run some sample messages through spamc on the command line:

cat sample-spam.txt | spamc

That will at least let you see some of what's going on. (sample-spam.txt
is 
included in the tarball, or you can use just about any single-message
email 
file)
