A mystery indeed. I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's a problem with spamd's uid. Can you stop spamd, then restart it from the command line as root using
spamd -c -a -D [NB: no -d] And then send yourself/someuser a test message. See what spamd prints out. Also check the syslog files for the mail facility, and see if there's any details in there. If everything's working, then see how spamd is being started when it's not from the command line -- is it also being started up as root? What does the syslog say now? C Harold L.
