a. cd back to wherever you want to
start the plugin. Do a $which spamfilter to make sure
spamfilter is installed.
b. Start the plugin:
On Linux: $ /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamfilter start
On Solaris: $ /etc/init.d/spamfilter start
On FreeBSD: $ /etc/rc.spamfilter start
c. Do the following to see if it is running:
$ ps -ax | grep "spamfilter"
d. You can check syslog for plugin
information or errors.
Important Notes:
Plugin does not need root access
to communicate with Sendmail. It is a good security
practice to run a program only with root privileges
if really necessary. If you try to run the plugin
as root, plugin will run it as 'spamfilter'.
Put the socket in a directory that the user can
write to:
e.g. `S=local:/etc/spamfilter/spamfilter.sock'
Otherwise, you will get 'socket unsafe' errors in
syslog if debug is on.
