How did you install it?
'apt install' spamassassin spamc    (as all the other stuff that works on that server.)
At that moment permissions were correct and everything was set to work
correctly.

then,
user create
'useradd -u 5001 -g spamd -s /sbin/nologin -d /var/lib/spamassassin spamd'
mkdir /var/lib/spamassassin
chown -R spamd:spamd /var/lib/spamassassin
At that moment the installation was broken by these actions!
Permissions and ownership were set so as to prevent it from working.

ok, so what should be the right things to do here ? without explaining what's wrong that doesn't help.

for the sake of god don't change things you do not understand - the distribution prepared everything so that it works out of the box on thousands of setups, you touch everything left and right and then ask the *upstream* community how to fix what you broke

work out of the box when installed standalone... yes.

but is the integration with a bunch of others that need to run in close cooperation automatically handled by the individual installers in all situations/operating systems flavours ? really ?


even if that woul dhave worked shortly there are good chances that cron-scripts and package-scripts later would touch the permsisions again because they look like need to be fixed

I've just picked the latest tuto I found for postfix/clamav/spamassassin/amavis-new integration. if it are so wrong why aren't it been corrected since it was published ?

btw, doesn't we all learn from our errors ? ^^)
