Hey all -

I'm running 2.30 under RedHat 7.2 (with security updates) and 2.4.9 
(custom-compiled).  I have the RBL and Vipul's Razor options enabled, 
otherwise completely stock.  I did change the threshold to 6.0 points in 
my local user_prefs and added a couple of whitelist entries.

I run spamd as follows:

/usr/bin/spamd -d -u nobody


(1) Whether the user_prefs settings are used or not seems to be 
hit-and-miss.  What's in the header often disagrees with waht actually 
happens.  For example:

This is what's in the message's header:

Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 14:11:05 -0500

              USER_IN_WHITELIST
        version=2.30
X-Spam-Level: 


However, this is what's in the (altered) message body:

<snip> 

Any idea what's up here?  


(2) I'm getting these all over my logs (this only since upgrading from 
2.11):

Jun 25 17:17:38 firefox spamd[29205]: read_scoreonly_config: cannot open 
"/root/.spamassassin/user_prefs": Permission
denied 
Jun 25 17:22:38 firefox spamd[29253]: read_scoreonly_config: cannot open 
"/root/.spamassassin/user_prefs": Permission
denied 

The permissions on this file are root.root 644.  There is no mail in 
root's mailbox.  The directory's permissions (root's home) are root.root 
750, so I'm assuming that the fact that "nobody" can't read the dir itself 
might be the problem.  The kicker is, I have 2.30 running on another 
server with the *exact* same configuration, and there are no such messages 
in its logs.

TIA for any help you can offer....Bob
