Performance Tuning

Copy the SQL purge script from the source directory:

mkdir /var/dspam/sql
cp /extra/src/dspam-3.10.2/src/tools.mysql_drv/purge-4.1.sql \
/var/dspam/sql/mysql_purge-4.1.sql

Copy the maintenance script:

cp /extra/src/dspam-3.10.2/contrib/dspam_maintenance/dspam_maintenance.sh \
/usr/local/bin/dspam_maintenance

Edit the script with some default options:

DSPAM_CONFIGDIR="/usr/local/etc"
DSPAM_HOMEDIR="/var/dspam"
DSPAM_PURGE_SCRIPT_DIR="/var/dspam/sql"
DSPAM_BIN_DIR="/usr/local/bin"
MYSQL_BIN_DIR="/usr/local/mysql/bin"

Test the script out:

/usr/local/bin/dspam_maintenance --verbose

Create a cron task to run it nightly:

cd /etc/cron.d
echo "0 0 * * * root /usr/local/bin/dspam_maintenance >/dev/null 2>&1" > dspam
touch /etc/crontab
