Running
Red Hat 8.0 with all current updates, sendmail-8.12.8-9.80, procmail-3.22-7, and spamassassin-2.60-0.fdr.2.rh80
I have /etc/procmailrc passing to SpamAssassin as below:
# send mail through SpamAssassin :0fw * < 256000 | /usr/bin/spamc -f
It works BUT I think something needs to be setup differently because for every email processed I get a maillog message like:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your logs clearly show you dont have spamd running as a specified user, so specify one,
I've searched and googled, RTFM, ... and can't seem to find any clear indicator.
man spamd:
-u username, --username=username Run as username
What user should I be running as?
If it all works well as the user "nobody" run it as that, you will see the error disapear.
I think most people create a user and group, make sure that that stuff like dcc, razor etc work with the newly created user/group and use it.
You could even call them spamd.spamd
eg. in my spamd init file:
else
OPTIONS=" -d -x -q -u vpopmail"
fiWhich means I use the user "vpopmail"
If this is setup ok, how can I convince spamd/spamc it doesn't need to keep telling me its "Still running as root..."?
