Announce: milter_watch-0.6

I am pleased to announce a new release of milter_watch, a utility
designed to run out of cron to verify the correct functionality of
spam- and virus-filtering milters (so they can be automatically
restarted if they misbehave). Current users should read the
documentation (milter_watch -h) for changes since the previous
version. In particular, I've inverted the response codes so it will
return 0 if the milter is functioning properly.

Version 0.6 is primarily being released for compatibility with the
latest version of clamav-milter. There have also been some minor code
cleanups. I'm working on a version 0.7 that will include further code
cleanups and more realistic testing of spam milters (by adding more
headers).

As always, milter_watch is open source software, and is available for
download from
http://www.itg.uiuc.edu/itg_software/milter_watch/

Bug reports and feature requests (preferably with patches) may be sent
directly to me.

The web page has the old information :

http://www.itg.uiuc.edu/itg_software/milter_watch/

Returns 0 if milter should be restarted
1 if milter working, or administratively shut down

Recommended cronjob:
milter_watch -q local:/var/milter.sock || /etc/init.d/milter condrestart

Regards,

JM
