What user are you running spamd as? If you are running it as root (so that users can control their options themselves) then you'll need to do 2 things.
1. create the .spamassassin directory for root so that it can lock files etc (I'm actually not totally sure this is nessessary but I did it anyway) 2. Add DROPPRIVS=yes to your procmailrc so that it changes priviledges when it runs spamc through the pipe. Otherwise you are running spamc as root (which you don't want to do and it won't let you) so it's doing a fall back. If you don't want to run spamd as root. Sounds like you don't b/c this is a gateway box, then you need to run it as a different user and create the .spamassassin directory for that user. Then you'll need to run spamc with the -f [user] flag (I think double check me on that) so that it runs as the user your are specifing. (that being the one that spamd runs as) C Gilles Nedostoupof wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm just setting up a production box where SA is installed to filter all > incoming mail. > My configuration follow : > > I'm using Postfix on RedHat 7.2 to receive all incoming mails for my domain, > the RedHat box is used as a gateway server; there is no user account on it, > I'm using the aliases file from postfix to forward the incoming mail to an > exchange server.
