Hello, I'm new to Debian and am trying to understand the Right way to configure the standard (aptitude-installed) spamassassin package to use tmpfs shared memory for its temporary directory.
I see the following in /etc/init.d/spamassassin export TMPDIR=/tmp But this file should not be edited by hand. I think I have to put my changes into /etc/default/spamassassin I'm not sure what the best thing to do would be. Do I just try to override by putting "export TMPDIR=/dev/shm" into /etc/default/spamassassin? Also, how can I test/verify where SpamAssassin thinks its temporary directory is? Right now mail volume is next to nothing, so temp files seem to get cleaned up faster than I can check /tmp to see if in fact SA is putting any there. Thank you!
