Hi All, I have a mail server which for all users in my home uses fetchmail to get my mail from my isp. I have configured spamassasin according to the following url: http://evillair.netdojo.com/howto/spamassassin.html I have found that since doing so defunct processes regarding spamd as noted: [root@hammer root]# ps -ef | grep spam root 2403 1 0 Feb03 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -a 501 5858 2403 0 21:40 ? 00:00:00 [spamd <defunct>] 501 5859 2403 0 21:40 ? 00:00:01 [spamd <defunct>] root 5902 4250 0 21:52 pts/2 00:00:00 grep spam [root@hammer root]# The only change I have made to the /etc/procmailrc file is from: /usr/bin/spamassassin -P to: /usr/bin/spamc BTW, I noticed the defunct processes occur either way spamassasin is called. As I am new to this as having never configured SA before, I have a couple of questions: 1. Is the /etc/procmailrc file correct? 2. Should there be anything else in my sendmail.mc file pointing to an SA milter? I ask because I had to put in a milter for clamav and was wondering.. Any and all help is appreciated and thanked for in advance. Phil
