In older versions of sendmail - 8.11 and earlier, procmail is run as root, so there is no reason why it shouldn't be able to write to /var/log/procmail.log >procmail: [20588] Thu Jul 3 16:10:09 2003 >procmail: Assigning "FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail" >procmail: Assigning "SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail" >procmail: Locking "spamassassin.lock" >procmail: Executing "/usr/bin/spamc" >procmail: [20588] Thu Jul 3 16:10:10 2003 >procmail: Unlocking "spamassassin.lock" >procmail: No match on "^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*$ABYSS" >procmail: Missing action >procmail: Match on "^X-Spam-Status: Yes" >procmail: Locking "/var/spool/mail/sharedspam.lock" >procmail: Error while writing to >"/var/spool/mail/_sBF,xuJB_.ratbert.rhumphrey." Same error here. Track down why it can't write to these files and you'll probably solve 90% of your problem.
