Well in my installation, I did in fact have to add -u root to get it to work.
It would not work otherwise. When I just ran spamc -f it failed, when I added spamc -f -u root it worked. I can't argue with results. I don't know why my installation seems to be different, but I have seen other people with posts like mine on the qmail-scanner mail list so I know I'm not alone. -----Original Message----- From: Dallas Engelken To: Woodworth, Eric Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 2/11/02 8:14 PM Subject: Re: [SAtalk] Has anybody gotten SA to work with Qmail and Qmail s canner? > Well for the record, just adding "-u root" into the line in the scanner > script that calls spamc fixed the problem.
