Mike,
spamd will not run as root, it is a security risk.
If you start it as root and you do not tell it who you want to run as
(IE leave off the '-u' option) it will automagically switch to user
"nobody".
If you have your permissions set correctly, spamd & razor can
happily run as non-root. Why not just fix your permissions?
