# Options
# See man spamd for possible options. The -d option is automatically added.
# SpamAssassin uses a preforking model, so be careful! You need to
# make sure --max-children is not set to anything higher than 5,
# unless you know what you're doing.
OPTIONS="--create-prefs --max-children 5 --username spamd --helper-home-dir"
# Pid file
# Where should spamd write its PID to file? If you use the -u or
# --username option above, this needs to be writable by that user.
# Otherwise, the init script will not be able to shut spamd down.

# Set nice level of spamd
NICE="--nicelevel 15"
# Cronjob
# Set to anything but 0 to enable the cron job to automatically update
