Package: spamassassin Followup-For: Bug #712564 > please add the feature to run spamassassin as debian-spamd user. Why so? When spamassassin is running in daemon mode (spamd) as root, the default behaviour is to setuid to the user running spamc. This lets spamd to load and examine the per-user configuration files as the user. So by default, the effective UID is sent to spamd from spamc.
Certainly there is a point in what you are suggesting. You are welcome to send a patch for each configuration file where this change could be introduced as an added feature. The alternative username could be passed on to 'spamd' after the '-u' switch. Regards, -- Miklos Quartus WWW: http://www.miklos.info GPG: 3C4B 1364 A379 7366 7FED 260A 2208 F2CE 3FCE A0D3
