Hi
I'm not sure what else changed (I did not archive previous script so
can't run diff on it), but it's not working now.
You can see that it successfully queues the msg into .hashcash/queue,
but I suppose the fork/exec or something fails. There ends up being
no hashcash process running even if I set bitconf to 30 bits (so it
would take a while if it started). So then the mail stays queues and
never gets sent.
The hashcash.log entries now look like this:
Mon Aug 9 06:16:11 2004 hashcash-sendmail[7017]: queued
9310-1092046571.7017.msg
Mon Aug 9 06:16:11 2004 hashcash-sendmail[7020]: Earlier hashcash daemon must
have died; replacing lost queue items.
Mon Aug 9 06:16:11 2004 hashcash-sendmail[7020]: daemon started on
bitchcake.off.net; computing 20 bits

An example of what is in the state file is:
cat 9310-1092046571.7017.dat
@args = (
"--",
"adam\@cypherspace.org"
);
@rcpt = (
{
"bits" => 30,
"addr" => "adam\@cypherspace.org",
"nice" => 19
}
);
1;
I am using perl-5.8.3.
