Worried that I might be preventing all mail from passing through the system, I
rebooted the server after disabling SpamAssassin and ClamAV, so they're running
again. My remote mail queue is continuing to grow -- there are now 79,110
messages in the remote queue. ps -ax | grep -c qmail-remote reports that there
are 87 processes pumping out e-mail responses to people around the globe who
probably don't exist that purportedly sent e-mail messages to non-existent
e-mail addresses at this domain. I apologize to everyone for my unintentional
contributions to the global Spam problem.
Here's my /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sa-spamd.sh script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# $FreeBSD: ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin/files/spamd.sh,v 1.13 2006/02/09

pidfile=${spamd_pidfile:-"/var/run/spamd/spamd.pid"}
command=/usr/local/bin/spamd
command_args="-d -r ${pidfile}"
required_dirs=/usr/local/share/spamassassin
stop_postcmd=stop_postcmd
stop_postcmd()
{
rm -f $pidfile
}
