However, spamc invokes spamd (that's how it works isn't it?), and since spamd is running as root, the spamd man page says that it will change to the user that called it via spamc - the exim user in this case. As such the log file should show exim as using spamc and not 'unknown'.

Its pretty hard to get exim to run things as root. > How do you run spamassassin per message with the directors/transports? Surely at this point exim is doing deliveries per recipient, the system filter will handle per message requirements.
