| I have a similar problem. I run spamd as root, and until now, didn't have a
| .spamassassin dir, so the auto whitelist rule thing didn't work.

spamd should use $HOME/.spamassassin for the $HOME of the $USER that
spamc is run as. (this is what 1.5 does)
I dislike apps creating their own config in my home directory. This
caused a number of problems when I set up spamassassin because it was
run by the MTA (user='mail') and not as the user the mail is addressed
to.
IMO if the user's config can't be found, ignore it. If the system
config can't be found, then warn about it.
