Right, it's started via /etc/rc.d/rc.local: /usr/bin/spamd -u nobody so I would agree with you. Now, how to start it up so it won't complain? When I had it running as root, it complained about that and fell back to "nobody" anyway. So I've given up one error message in /var/log/maillog for another.

Spamd is running as "nobody" at this point. Any way to fix this without making significant changes on dir perms? I kind of like them the way they are (though I don't have a problem with making this one file world-readable).
