Spamassassin start on reboot?

Hello.

Seems Spamassassin isn't starting on a server reboot. I thought qmail-scanner was supposed to set that?

What do I need to check to make sure this is configured correctly...

Qmail-scanner doesn't control that. What does chkconfig --list spamassassin say?

[root@gz spamassassin]# chkconfig --list spamassassin
spamassassin 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off

Well, that's the problem then. SpamAssassin is not started for any runlevel. A quick chkconfig --level 345 spamassassin on should fix that.

thanks...

exactly why 345? instead of say just 2? I looked at clamd and it is on for only 2. Just curious...

Depends on what runlevel you're running as. Linux machines without X (GUI) usually run at runlevel 3. Linux with GUI usually uses runlevel 5. Setting it for 3, 4 and 5 is just a habit. Different distributions use runlevels differently. See Wikipedia for more info.

You can run runlevel to see the current runlevel.
