And the world could end. What happens if some user messes with somebody elses
stuff? That what logs are for and boot the user. You are god of the
servers. Oh sorry, back to the real world. Give them guild line in the
spamc line on how it will be setup. Do not let them guess.
Note: I use these two option to help sort thing out instead of %u.
%l -- replaced with the 'local part' of the current
username. In other words, if the username is an email
address, this is the part before the "@" sign.
%d -- replaced with the 'domain' of the current
username. In other words, if the username is an email
address, this is the part after the "@" sign.
Here is the spamd line to get it started.
/usr/bin/spamd -u spamd -i 0.0.0.0 -x
- --virtual-config-dir="/var/spamassassin/%d/%l" -m 16
Here is the line I use to send to spamd.
/usr/bin/spamc -d spamd.server -H -u [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The user_prefs files are located at:
/var/spamassassin/$domain/$group/user_prefs
If you enable bayes filtering then the bayes is at this location:
/var/spamassassin/$domain/$group/.spamassassin/
In my setup we will not be allowing bayes because we have three different
server spamd server and that can eat a lot of disk space. Then there is
maintaining the bayes stuff.

On a different box, and running as a normal user. Started from root.
