I am running SA on OS X 10.2.8 and I have the same issue. I get the same one or two
spamd processing just sitting there. I also
eventually need to go in an manually kill these processes.
I am currently running SA as my mta user. If I lint my config files I get the
following:
[firewall:~] admin% sudo -u mta spamassassin --lint -D
debug: Score set 0 chosen.
debug: running in taint mode? yes
debug: Running in taint mode, removing unsafe env vars, and resetting PATH
debug: PATH included '/bin', keeping.
debug: PATH included '/sbin', keeping.
debug: PATH included '/usr/bin', keeping.
debug: PATH included '/usr/sbin', keeping.
debug: Final PATH set to: /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
debug: ignore: using a test message to lint rules
debug: using "/usr/local/share/spamassassin" for default rules dir
debug: using "/etc/mail/spamassassin" for site rules dir
debug: using "/Users/admin/.spamassassin" for user state dir
debug: mkdir /Users/admin/.spamassassin failed: mkdir /Users/admin/.spamassassin:

debug: bayes: Not available for scanning, only 0 spam(s) in Bayes DB < 200
debug: bayes: 12764 untie-ing

Now I do not understand why SA is looking in /Users/admin for the user state
directory? Can I tell SA to not use the user state
dir??
