Hello,
Also, my spamd is currently running like this:
/usr/sbin/spamd --create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir -d
--pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid
Should I remove the "--create-prefs" option to stop it creating preferences
for people who don't want them? Are there any other options I should be
using?
Thanks again, and I apologise for my ignorance ;-)
Richard.
