I could be wrong about this but I do not believe that spamc needs to be run
with the -u parameter. The reason is that the master.cf file should be
configured to pipe the message to filter script running as user filter.
filter unix - n n - - pipe
flags=Rq user=filter argv=/somewhere/filter -f ${sender} -- ${recipient}
I pipe to Procmail which runs under the user I specified. I never have to
call spamc -u, the site user is already set.
Jason - did you restart spamd? You should have a home directory for user
filter where the /home/filter/.spamassassin/user_prefs file should be
located. Is this the case? I would continue to run spamd as root.
