SA is not included by default until 10.4. If you installed it yourself,
you may need to create a StartupItem in /Library/StartupItems. Otherwise,
check the documentation from the installed package.
I'm trying to install spamassassin on 10.4 using MacPorts (we're running
Exim, since we need to integrate with other services that OSX default
mailer doesn't).
When I start spamassassin, I see this error message in
/var/log/system.log:
rules: meta test DIGEST_MULTIPLE has undefined dependency 'DCC_CHECK'
I wouldn't mind so much, but in 37 seconds, the log entry was made 45,097
times! That must be a bug, no?
I failed to notice this when I first started spamd, and it made 4GB of
log entries in less than 24 hours. Ouch.
I guess the work around would be to remove the DIGEST_MULTIPLE test, or
to fix my syslog config to not log these errors.
I should add that I'm using launchd to launch spamd. It seems that fixing
that problem causes the message "server started on UNIX domain socket
/opt/local/var/run/spamd_socket (running version 3.1.7)" to be logged just
as frequently, then a launchctl unload causes frequent logging of "server
killed by SIGTERM, shutting down", but the perl process doesn't quit
without a "kill -9".
Adding -D to the startup parameters seems to fix the logging problem, but
am I just hiding a real problem here?
Ah, yes. The perl process seems to be using 80% of CPU even though I've not
asked it to scan anything!
However, if I remove --syslog=mail from the invocation, all seems to be OK!
