Description Helge Oldach 2004-05-01 15:30:14 UTC 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/spamass-milter.sh is wrong:

                "${DAEMON}" -p "${SOCKET}" -f &
                echo $! > "${PIDFILE}"

$! is the PID of the last command that /bin/sh put into background. But
since spamass-milter forks itself (-f option) this is *not* the PID of
the running spamass-milter process. Hence the PID file contains the PID
of a nonexistant process and cannot be used to stop spamass-milter.

Fix: Use the ./spamass-milter.sh script that is included already in the
distribtution.

Alternatively, apply the following patch, which will not create a PID
file:
