Thanks for the example. I'm not sure how mine gets invoked though... Here's 
the script... Can I just append the flag to DAEMON line, eg, 
DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/spamass-milter -r 14? Do you think the script will 
still work?

spameater# more spamass-milter.sh
#!/bin/sh

DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/spamass-milter
SOCKET=/var/run/spamass-milter.sock
PIDFILE=/var/run/spamass-milter.pid

case "$1" in
start)
       if [ -f "${DAEMON}" -a -x "${DAEMON}" ]
       then
               "${DAEMON}" -p "${SOCKET}" -f &
               echo $! > "${PIDFILE}"
               sleep 1
               kill -HUP `head -1 /var/run/sendmail.pid`
               echo -n ' spamass-milter'
       fi
;;
stop)
       if [ -f "${PIDFILE}" ]
       then
               read -r pid junk < "${PIDFILE}"
               kill ${pid}
               rm -f "${SOCKET}" "${PIDFILE}"
               sleep 1
               kill -HUP `head -1 /var/run/sendmail.pid`
               echo -n ' spamass-milter'
       fi
;;
esac

Wow. I wonder if sending them to null is better (is this possible)? Seems 
like this is a waste of bandwidth, and could lead to a DDOS?
