Running spamd as root or not root hasn't seemed to matter. I'm running
it as root while I'm working in debugging this.

Running spamc with the -u flag seems to require a username which I'm no
entirely clear how to pass that in from postfix. Here's what I have in
master.cf:
# =========================================================
# service type private unpriv chroot wakeup maxproc command + args
# (yes) (yes) (yes) (never) (100)
#==========================================================
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd -o
content_filter=spamfilter:
spamfilter unix - n n - - pipe
flags=Rq user=filter argv=/usr/local/sbin/spamfilter -f ${sender} --
${recipient}
Inside of /usr/local/sbin/spamfilter I have:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/spamc | /usr/sbin/sendmail -i "$@"
exit $?
I'm starting spamd with:
usr/bin/spamd -a -d -m 10 -r /var/run/spamd.pid &
and in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf I have:
allow_user_rules 1
Does all of this seem to make sense? My ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs only
has one command which is 'required_hits 3.5'.
Thanks for the help everyone. This is very puzzling for me.
