HI.
I have several MD 2.57 installations, which I plan to upgrade to MD 2.58.
All installs are on redhat systems (RHEL4, FC4, FC5, FC6).
I would like to better understand the exact meaning of the new 2 lines
in the suggested /etc/init.d/mimedefang file:
HOME=/var/spool/MIMEDefang
export HOME
I know about the problem with spamassassin on redhat discussed in this
group (the errors in /var/log/maillog),
and I have also experienced it myself on some of these servers.
My bayes and awl databased are stored at:
/home/defang/.spamassassin
In /etc/mail/sa-mimedefang.cf I have:
auto_whitelist_path /home/defang/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist
bayes_path /home/defang/.spamassassin/bayes
BTW - On most of the servers, /var/spool/MIMEDefang is a ram drive.
So my question is - should I use the new suggested
/etc/init.d/mimedefang file "as is",
or change it to:
HOME=/home/defang (or /home/defang/.spamassassin)
export HOME
I simply don't understand what is the exact effect of this settings - is
it used for temporary lock files and such,
or is it also used for storing SA databases such as bayes and awl?
Thanks
