Hi --

I am an Exim user and I'm trying to setup
Sender Policy Framework. I hope someone on the
list has done this and can answer a question for
me concerning the launching of spfd. I launch
it per the instructions as follows:

spfd -path=/tmp/spfd

This is what I get back:

10109 will listen at /tmp/spfd
10109: creating server with args Listen 1
Local /tmp/spfd

That all looks very encouraging and the socket
appears to get created in /tmp. The problem is
that after sending the above message to standard
out, it just hangs. I would expect the daemon to
run in the BG and that I would be returned to a
shell prompt. I am wondering if I'm supposed to
do something like stick an '&' at the end of the
invocation. I just don't know what it expects
me to do. I am hopeful that someone on this list
has been down this path and can advise me.

Thanks for any input.

     ... doug
