A whole series of lines like
debug: 31245 Trying to get lock on /home/skip/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist pass 22
I killed spamc and spamd, then removed all traces of auto_whitelist from the
above directory, then tried again. This time it came back with
debug: 31370 Trying to get lock on /home/skip/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist pass 0
debug: Tie-ing to DB file R/W in /home/skip/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist
Cannot open auto_whitelist_path /home/skip/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist:
Permission denied
(spamd was run as "root". spamc was run as "skip".)
I then tried running the same spam through spamc a second time and was
treated to the endless series of "Trying to get lock ..." messages from
spamd. Here are the various permissions:
% ls -ld /home/skip/.spamassassin
drwx------ 2 skip skip 4096 May 19 23:05 /home/skip/.spamassassin
% ls -l
total 8
-rw------- 1 skip root 0 May 19 23:03 auto-whitelist.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 skip root 20 May 19 23:03 auto-whitelist.lock
-rw-rw-r-- 1 skip skip 973 May 16 17:57 user_prefs
My umask is 002. Root's is 022.
