I agree with the fact that the lock is not needed on spamc, but I don't understand why this would produce an error. There are a lot of individuals that use the lock with both spamassassin and spamc as a load control. Is it possible that by using DROPPRIVS=yes removes the permissions necessary to create and write to spamassassin.lock?
