Just a quick note to let everyone know that I figured out my problem after
reading the spamd source.

It turns out that my /usr/local/bin/procmail had the setuid bit set on it
and it was owned by root therefore spamc was running as root rather than
as the user which resulted in spamd not reading the user config.

Problem fixed, everything is working as expected.

BTW, great piece of software !!! I love it! My 10 line perl filter just
wasn't cutting it anymore and this is just wanted the doctor ordered :D
