Hmm, I didn't have any problems with my setup once I created the directory.. SA created the auto-whitelist db on its own and was able to read it just fine.. Here's how my permissions are set (testmail is a normal user account I created for testing spamassassin): [testmail@apollo testmail]$ ls -ld .spamassassin/ drwxr-xr-x 2 testmail users 4096 Apr 22 16:42 .spamassassin/ [testmail@apollo testmail]$ ls -l .spamassassin/ total 12 -rw------- 1 testmail root 12288 Apr 22 16:42 auto-whitelist Not sure why SA created auto-whitelist with the group root, maybe it's because SA runs as root. In any case, make sure your normal user account can read ~/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist, and write to ~/.spamassassin. If that's the case then your problem is over my head. :) Shayne _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
