4.61.6 - SpamAssassin Temporary Dir

[Julian Field]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

This may well be the last beta before the next stable release at the 
start of July.

There is one new minor feature. There is now a setting
    SpamAssassin Temporary Dir
which sets the dir in which SpamAssassin creates all its temporary 
files. To speed up SpamAssassin, you can put the files on a filesystem 
mounted with tmpfs, thereby saving lots of disk i/o. By default, the 
directory is put inside /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming as most people 
who are concerned with speed do at least get as far as putting that on 
tmpfs. It will attempt to create the directory if necessary, so no need 
for any special steps to use it.

If it can't write to the directory, it backs off to using /tmp instead. 
On some systems that is mounted on tmpfs anyway.

Download it as usual from www.mailscanner.info.

Please test this new feature for me, and continue to test the recent 
Postfix fixes. Thanks!

Jules
