SMD Daemon Support
The smd daemon monitors the PTSFilter and performs regular maintenance and "house cleaning".
Options:
do_refresh : restarts the ptsfilter without performing maintenance. It has one option which is the time in minutes before it restarts the filter. example: do_refresh~10~ : restarts the filter every ten minutes.
socket : the socket you will use to communicate between sendmail and the ptsfilter. ex: socket~local:/usr/local/etc/ptsfilter/ptsfilter.sock~ NOTE: this must match exactly what you have in your sendmail.cf file
num_of_processes : the number of processes that your OS runs for the ptsfilter. ex: num_of_processes~1~ Note: this is OS specific.
freshclam : this updates the clamav virus database. this is done during maintenance cycle. ex: freshclam~/usr/local/bin/freshclam --quiet >/dev/null to> &1~
elapsedtime : the elapsed time is the time between the maintenance cycles. it is measured in minutes. ex: elapsedtime~360~ this would be 6 hours between maintenance cycles
users_time : during the maintenance cycle this will remove any files in the users directory that are older than the specified time. this is measured in hours. ex: users_time~24~
temp_time : during the maintenance cycle this will remove any files in the temp directory that are older than the specified time. this is measured in hours. ex: temp_time~24~
rejects_time : during the maintenance cycle this will remove any files in the rejects directory that are older than the specified time. this is measured in hours. ex: rejects_time~24~
quarantine_time : during the maintenance cycle this will remove any files in the quarantine directory that are older than the specified time. this is measured in hours. ex: quarantine_time~24~
DomainList : this removes the domain entries in the database table after the time specified. time is measured in days. ex: DomainList~7~
tblgreylist : this removes the greylist entries in the tblgreylist table after the time specified. time is measured in days. ex: tblgreylist~7~
tblmessage : this removes the domain entries in the tblmessage table after the time specified. time is measured in days. ex: tblmessage~7~
sendmailinfo : this removes the domain entries in the sendmailinfo table after the time specified. time is measured in days. ex: sendmailinfo~7~
tblEmailFilter : this removes the stats entries in the tblEmailFilter table after the time specified. time is measured in days. ex: tblEmailFilter~7~
BlackList : this removes the domain entries in the BlackList table after the time specified. time is measured in days. ex: BlackList~7~
use_mysql : no options, just tells the daemon that you are using a mysql database.
repair_table : this does a repair on each table in the ptsmail database. this takes one of three options: repair table with quick, extended or use_frm
rebuild_access : this will rebuild the sendmail access database during the maintenance cycle adding entries from the DomainList table in the ptsmail database. this takes one of three options: 0, 1, 2.
1 - puts ip address from the BlackList DomainList table. 2 - puts domain names from the DomainList table. 3 - does both.
orderly_shutdown : performs an orderly shutdown of the ptsfilter allowing all processes to finish before shutdown as opposed to killing the processes that are running.
