spamdoptions ???


Apologies for not finding it in my searching yet...

I think it is my "sometimers" kickin' in...  ;->

I am looking for info on the granularity knob control for number of extra
spamd daemons on startup.

...AND if one has enough processors and ram memory, how to know how many
"extra" to have available to speed up scanning and such under load.

On Redhat or CentOS machines would that be under SPAMDOPTIONS ?

Using the RPM install of spamassassin from either the CentOS project
or rpmforge, you make changes to the spamd command line in
/etc/sysconfig/spamassassin, and yes, you place those switches in the
assignment to the SPAMDOPTIONS variable.

As far as what switches you use, "man spamd".  For how many spamd
children you can run, you probably just have to experiment with
gradually increasing the number.
