RE: -r option - FIXED

[Jeff Powell]

I figured out what was wrong.  I had two copied of the spamass-milter
binary installed.  This probably occurred when I installed the RPM.  I
had one copy at /usr/local/sbin and another at /usr/sbin.  Apparently
the one at /usr/local/sbin came from installing the milter using make
install and the one at /usr/sbin came from installing the RPM.  I
modified the initscript and all is well.  It looks like the initscript
was reading the correct file but applying the options to the wrong copy
of the binary.

After you start the service with the script, what is the output of "ps
ax | grep spamass-milter"?  You should see all your commandline args
there.

Does it work if you run spamass-milter directly from the commandline?
