+# WARNING: please read README.spamd before using.
+# There may be security risks.
+
+# If you're using systemd (default for jessie), the ENABLED setting is
+# not used. Instead, enable spamd by issuing:
+# systemctl enable spamassassin.service
+# Change to "1" to enable spamd on systems using sysvinit:
+ENABLED=1
+
+# Options
+# See man spamd for possible options. The -d option is automatically added.
+
+# SpamAssassin uses a preforking model, so be careful! You need to
+# make sure --max-children is not set to anything higher than 5,
+# unless you know what you're doing.
+
+OPTIONS="--create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir --username spamd -H /var/log/spamassassin -s /var/log/spamassassin/spamd.log"
+
+# Pid file
+# Where should spamd write its PID to file? If you use the -u or
+# --username option above, this needs to be writable by that user.
+# Otherwise, the init script will not be able to shut spamd down.
+PIDFILE="/var/run/spamd.pid"
+
+# Set nice level of spamd
+#NICE="--nicelevel 15"
+
+# Cronjob
+# Set to anything but 0 to enable the cron job to automatically update
+# spamassassin's rules on a nightly basis
+CRON=1
