Hello folks ^^)
I've installed the latest spamassassin version on a new Debian 11 server and configured it to work with Postfix, amavis-new, and clamav.
spamassassin got a user named 'spamd' and is run under it. sa-update is set on a cron job to automate the update but that fails :( each day I get that report from cron : /etc/cron.daily/spamassassin: mkdir /var/lib/spamassassin/3.004006: Permission denied at /usr/bin/sa-update line 488. sa-update failed for unknown reasons. First, I've thinked that it was a permissions problem for 'spamd' user to access the '/var/lib/spamassassin' directory, so I've 'chown -r spamd:spamd /var/lib/spamassassin' but even with permissions set to 775 on that directory the update still fail with the same message. I just can't set permissions to 777 on that kind of directory (I'm not mad), so what is the real problem with sa-update not working under spamassassin's own user when on a cron job on debian 11 ? Thanks, Jeff
