Try making the following changes for /etc/procmailrc: ---------------- # This is generally a GoodThing(TM) anyway, unless you MUST run # sections of /etc/procmailrc as root...

Fall back to ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Here's the log fragment telling you exactly *what* is going wrong for proper per-user spamd/spamc usage. To fix it for certain, you'll probably have to spend a while reading the man pages for procmail, or consulting a procmail list- I have no idea whether my suggestions above will work. In the systems I'm adminning here, one has per-user .procmailrc files (created with default calls to SA when the account is created), and the other calls SA as a Perl module from the MIMEDefang milter program and I don't do per-user prefs anyway. -kgd -- "Sendmail administration is not black magic. There are legitimate technical reasons why it requires the sacrificing of a live chicken." - Unknown ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
