Correct. Looking at a related issue on the exim FAQ (http://www.exim.org/FAQ.html#TOC65) I'm guessing that exim is still running as root at the time it calls spamc (i.e. it hasn't gone into it's 'local delivery' mode yet). Can you configure Exim to call the spamc later in the delivery process? -- Corwin Grey, MCP Application Development Network Engineering Network Operations Services http://www.techtell.com _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
