the man page says this:
-u username, --username=username
Run as the named user. If this option is not set, the
default behaviour is to setuid() to the user running
"spamc", if "spamd" is running as root.
Note: "--username=root" disables the setuid()
functionality and leaves spamd running as root.
so u should run spamd with option --username=root , no setuid necessary in
this case. "Fall back to nobody" means , spamd is running with the
rightless user nobody, which isnt able to write into /.spamassassin nor
into users home directories (but this shouldnt happen anyway, coz spamc is
invoked by the user itsself).
a better way running spamd is creating a special user with a valid shell
and let him run spamd (not nobody itself).
give it a try,
regards,
Matthias
