On Debian stable running exim4 and exiscan-acl, IIRC, spamd runs as root by default, where exim is running as Debian-exim. SA is run from within the data ACL at SMTP time (before delivery to any specific user). The spamd man page says spamd will "setuid() to the user running "spamc" if "spamd" is running as root." I have assumed that means that spamd will suid to "Debian-exim" when processing a message. Is this a correct assumption? -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED]
