I'm using a spam blocking setup utilizing procmail, relaydb, spamd-setup and pf.
The problem is that if I specify DROPPRIVS in my /etc/procmailrc: DROPPRIVS=yes :0fw | /usr/local/bin/spamc :0c * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes | /usr/local/bin/relaydb -b :0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes in-x-spam :0c | /usr/local/bin/relaydb -w then relaydb seems to create a .relaydb for the user that the mail was delivered for so that when spamd-setup is called (which uses relaydb as one of its inputs) it doesn't find any of them because it's ran as root. Now obviously I could just get rid of DROPPRIVS but spamd doesn't seem to like this: Sep 8 11:07:37 bollo spamd[4493]: info: setuid to root succeeded Sep 8 11:07:37 bollo spamd[4493]: Still running as root: user not specified with -u, not found, or set to root. Fall back to nobody. and it's obviously not ideal from a security standpoint. So my question is does anybody have any solutions or suggestions on how to work around this? Many thanks.
