I'm having a large number of problems with SpamAssassin presently, and the
docs don't say _anything_ that's helpful.

1. My users' user_prefs files are not being read. In local.cf, I have
allow_user_rules set to 1, and I've restarted spamd at least 3 times since
making that change, with no change in behavior. Since there's nothing
about user_prefs files in the maillog, I haven't the foggiest notion
what's wrong. 

2. Bayesian learning simply is not happening. None of the spam that
arrives here has anything in it's tags about 'Bayesian filters estimate
there is a xx-xx% chance...'. Since there's no such thing as a
spamassassin log file which might tell me what SA is doing, I'm completely
in the dark as to why this is. I have not changed any options relating to
bayesian filtering, and the docs say it's supposed to be on by default.

3. Spamc always runs as root. Spamd always believes a particular piece of
mail is for root. Here's the log lines to prove it:

Apr  2 09:49:11 mail spamd[30566]: connection from localhost.localdomain
[127.0.0.1] at port 4728
Apr  2 09:49:11 mail spamd[31653]: info: setuid to root succeeded
Apr  2 09:49:11 mail spamd[31653]: Still running as root: user not
specified with -u, not found, or set to root.  Fall back to nobody.
Apr  2 09:49:11 mail spamd[31653]: processing message
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for root:99.

Here's my version info:
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.52 1.174.2.8-2003-03-24-exp

And my uname -a:
Linux mail.booksys.com 2.2.16-22 #1 Tue Aug 22 16:49:06 EDT 2000 i686
unknown

Does anyone have even the remotest idea how to fix these problems? Could
someone direct me to some better docs than the FAQ and man pages?
