Hi,

I have spamassassin already 100% installed in a Linux server.
I just want to know how to run it as user qscand without having to type "./spamd -u qscand start &", so i can start it at boot time.

Regards,
Mário Gamito

Hi,

I've just installed spamassassin.

I'ts been a long time since i've installed the last mail server and i never used version 3.

Ok, i've compiled it and copied spamd to /etc/init.d

If i just run "./spamd start", it will run as root and stucks the terminal.

So, i'm running "./spamd -u qscand start &".

Is there any place where i can configure the user qscan to be the user that spamassassin runs by default ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Warm Regards,

From past experience it's usually easier to lob SA in from rpm/yum. I
run it here on 3 servers and (knock on wood), this approach has yet to
cause a problem.

It's worth noting that one of the mail programs (who's name escapes
me) installs SA; I pull that off as part of my setup since I don't use
nix as a workstation so it has no reason to run a mail client.

After install it's just a matter of running setup from the cl and
enabling spamassassin (if it hasn't already been enabled).

This will of course depend very much on exactly what flavour of nix
you are running, your mailserver and various other things. I use
CentOS and have been very pleased with it.

Let me know if you need a step by step guide; I have one kicking about
here somewhere from the 'old days' of FC3.

Hope that helps.

Nigel
