... which runs spamd as a daemon which will auto-create user-prefs and AWL files as necessary for each user. Or should, anyway; I've yet to see it fail since ~2.3x (when I started using SA). > While sending mail from one user to another locally, i > am seeing the error in the log file as follows: > Aug 6 00:07:29 datta spamd[31302]: Still running as > root: user not specified, not found, or set to root. > Fall back to nobody.

This is normal. *Every* message passed through spamc/spamd should generate such entries- unless you've got your syslog set up to ignore mail.info logging. > Now i set the optins at spamd as follows: > > OPTIONS="-d -c -a -u mail" Which runs spamd as user mail, which BREAKS normal per-user setup. This should only be used for a site-wide setup that calls SA from the MTA directly, rather than at delivery. For a system-wide per-user setup, called from individual .procmailrc files, you want the -u option to be on the spamc call in the .procmailrc, NOT on spamd. spamd MUST run as root in order to be able to drop priviledges down to any particular user... > No auto-whitelist file is being created anywhere... You should have seen a .spamassassin directory created in the home directory of an account receiving its first message processed by SA via spamc/spamd. Within that directory, you should (usually) see a user_prefs file, and an auto_whitelist file. -kgd -- <erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
