RulesDuJour problem
Greetings folks;
I just installed RulesDuJour, and ran it once by hand. It wasn't
labeling the subject line, so I edited my local.cf to turn that on,
didn't change anything else, but now a 'service spamd restart'
fails with this error message nomograph:
Starting spamd: [20715] warn: Value "ax-conn-per-child=50" invalid for
option m (number expected)
[20715] warn: Unknown option: a
[20715] warn: Unknown option: c
And spits out the rest of its --help message.
However, 'spamassassin --lint' returns clean in about 4 seconds.
Humm, /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin had an .rpmnew appended, fixed that.
Which is odd as removeing that startup SPAMDOPTION in the
/etc/init.d/spamd file didn't get rid of the message. Odd indeed.
Also, the startup says there should be 5 (-m5) copies of spamd running,
but a ps -ea|grep spamd only finds 3. Another one of those things that
make
you go hummmm, I guess.
Any comments on how to reduce the hummmm?

Cheers, Gene

?? Thats also odd, 3.04 has been running just fine with that single
dash option for at least 6 months. Wierd. Anyway I put it back in
like above, and that works. Now to figure out why, with a -m5 setting,
its only running 3 copies of spamd.
Thanks Bob.

I like your answer better than mind. Fogs of hunger caught me.

The spamd options are located in two places - in
/etc/sysconfig/spamassassin and in the main script,
/etc/rc.d/init.d/spamd (or whatever you called it). Long option names
are preceded by two dashes. Somewhere you have
-max-conn-per-child=50
where you should have
--max-conn-per-child=50
Look over "man spamd" and check your options against that.

I suffer from lack of informationitis here.
What is the line that starts the spamd service?
The above suggests you have a typo somewhere. Like maybe something
like "-m ax-conn-per-child=50" instead of "-max-conn-per-child=50".
