ok, I can see that. Interesting I missed it on the set up
So, I’m running on OSX, and have to use plist files to start processes. The
spamd owner is ‘spamuser’ - ( just because I did…. and as it’s not used outside
that, I may as well leave it as such.)
<array>
<string>/opt/local/bin/daemondo</string>
<string>--label=spamd</string>
<string>--start-cmd</string>
<string>/opt/local/libexec/perl5.22/spamd</string>
<string>-l</string>
<string>-u</string>
<string>spamuser</string>
<string>;</string>
<string>--pid=exec</string>
</array>
So anyway, on spamd restart, it all still appears to be working ok. Although
I’m fully expecting something to come along and bite me.
So what exactly is the “kludge” - given that mostly I followed the Wiki and
various other setup guidelines? I’m not doing per user configs, but site wide.
