Slamming Spam: A Guide for System Administrators

spamc

spamc is the client side of the spamc/spamd pair. It is meant to be called by scripts, although there is no reason that it cannot be run manually. It is written in C and is meant for high performance. spamc reads from STDIN and then reads the results back from spamd and presents the output on STDOUT. The options it accepts are broken down by function in the next sections.
