Note that I am actually specifying # TWO DIFFERENT PATH ELEMENTS, one for the locally running diablo and # one for the reader. Also, readers generally do not need huge TCP # buffers and you can save considerable memory by reducing the buffer # size. # # In this example, I've turned off diablo's spam cache under the # assumption that some prior feeder is filtering. Remove the -S0 option # to leave the spam cache enabled. # # In this example, this machine is expected to be fed from one or more # remote machines. THE REMOTE MACHINE(S) MUST FEED THE DIABLO PROCESS # SITTING ON PORT 435!!!.
