In order to get spamd/spamc to use per-user prefs in ~/.spamassassin, you have two requirements: 1) spamd must run as root, otherwise it can't fork and drop priviledges to the user in question. Among other things, this lets it create the ~/.spamassassin directory if it doesn't exist. You *may* be able to get away with running spamd as a non-root user, so long as you make sure all users have ~/.spamassassin. Personally I wouldn't count on it. 2) you must call spamc with the -u parameter, in order to tell spamd which user to load preferences for when it forks. This applies no matter where you're calling spamc. -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 is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
