Yup... looks like that was it. Also cleared up a bunch of other install
errors.
I understand what its after, but its a bit of overkill I think. We have
some application directories that are intentionally group writable, and it
looks like that was what it didn't like.
At least its working now. Still some odd failures during the test stage:
t/spamd_hup.................FAILED tests 3-5
Failed 3/8 tests, 62.50% okay
and
t/spamd_port................spamd start failed: log: debug: Score set 0
chosen.
Not sure what those mean.
