NAME
spasmd - spasm anti-spam milter
SYNOPSIS
spasmd
{--help | --version}
DESCRIPTION
spasmd
is the daemon for the spasm anti-spam milter. A milter is a third-party
program that accesses mail messages as they are processed in real-time
by the sendmail Mail Transfer Agent (MTA).
spasmd, in conjunction with the spasm editor,
can be configured to reject, quarantine, or tag incoming spam
messages on behalf of 1 to N e-mail recipients.
PRECONDITIONS
- 1.
-
spasmd requires root privileges for execution.
- 2.
-
spasmd must be configured to specify a socket for runtime
communication with sendmail. The required socket, which is specified in the
config file spasm.conf prior to running the daemon, may be stipulated
in one of these three formats:
-
- inet:port[@{hostname|ip-address}]
-
Where port is an IPv4 TCP port to bind.
- unix:/path/to/socket
-
Where /path/to/socket is a unix domain socket to bind.
- inet6:port[@{hostname|ip-address}]
-
Where port is an IPv6 TCP port to bind.
