--timeout-child=secs
Hi Users,
======
SpamAssassin version 3.2.5
running on Perl version 5.10.0
======
I'm pretty new to spamassassin and recently been asked to change the flag
timeout-child
to 180 seconds, its currently set to to 60.
I've googled this and some say that this can be changed in /etc/conf.d/spamd
however
I don't seem to have this file.
I've tried using spamd --timeout-child=180 afterwhich i ran a ps aux | grep
spamd
and here are my results:
======
root 15967 0.1 0.3 31732 29268 ? Ss Oct28 0:01
/usr/sbin/spamd --create-prefs --max-children 8 -u mail
--helper-home-dir *--timeout-child=180
*-d --pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid
======
However when I restart the spamassassin deamon and run ps aux | grep spamd,
it goes back to what it was set before the my change:
======
root 15967 0.1 0.3 31732 29268 ? Ss Oct28 0:01
/usr/sbin/spamd --create-prefs --max-children 8 -u mail --helper-home-dir *
--timeout-child=60* -d --pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid
======
So it does seem to have a config file for where it is reading from. My
question is:
1. Where would it be?
or
2. How do I find it?
As mentioned, I'm pretty new at this so if you need me to provided further
details please let me know.
Many Thanks
Keith

OMG. Thanks a ton for this perfect example why HTML mail sucks bleep.
Not only did your $MUA [1] allow you to write your response indented as
if it where written by me. It also managed to gray-out the first line of
your response. Not the second one, mind you. And injected an HTML br tag
arbitrarily.
Even worse! For some unknown reason, that $MUA seriously managed to
*invert* the '> ' quote indentation. The OP is prefixed once, the reply
to that twice. Never mind the crappy LGHFTR [2] blockquote class name
and per-element styling.
OK, end of sarcasm and bitching. Next time, please do not use HTML on
mailing lists. :)
[1] Hey, at least gmail can handle Umlauts and uses an even half-way
sane date format.
[2] Looks Good Here, Bleep The Rest
Terribly fscked up indentation fixed for the remainder.

Great! And nice session of permanent mid-air collisions in this thread.
Just for reference -- if you ever ask again, where settings or default
settings might be stored, the OS and distro should be included. ;)

The spamd default is 300. See 'man spamd'. Why has this been changed in
the first place?
Btw, whoever knows why, knows where. ;)

A very brief googling seems to suggest this is an archlinux-ism.
The correct file to edit (and track down the current *custom* value of
60) depends on your distro. It's either some distro specific "default
conf" file, or directly inside your init script.

With Debian, it's /etc/default/spamassassin -- or, again, the init
script directly. Also see my previous post. It *has* been changed in one
of these places.

Hi Gary,
Thanks for your swift response, unfortunately I dont seem to have the
sysconfig directory.
If it helps, the linux distro running is Debian Lenny. Any more thoughts?
Many thanks
