Yeah, you're wrong. spamc will automagically pass the username it's executing as to spamd. So spamc -u $LOGNAME is identical to spamc. spamc -u somethingelse is however not the same as spamc by itself. So the distinction is based on what userID spamc is running as. I myself use spamc -u because procmail runs as the mail user, but gets passed as an argument the cyrus IMAP userid that the message should be delivered to, so I pass it to spamc/spamd through the -u flag.
