[Mimedefang] multiple CPUs, multiple milters!

That's a relief; thanks.

I think I won't touch that one with a ten-foot pole.  ;-)


I'll experiment with how to shutdown the processes.  The supplied init
script shuts down only the one whose PID is in the pidfile.  Since one
invocation starts four threads, should one kill stop all four threads
(code change, threads, yikes, beyond me at he moment)?  If not, I'll
just change the init script to find the rest of them (script change;
no problem!), and supply the change if you like...


Anne.
