Because of the following part of /usr/bin/spamd... It tries to set the $dir
variable to the virtual homedir, but it can't, so it sets $dir to an
undefined value. Then comp and '.' (string concatenation) complain when they
try to operate on an undefined value. You'll see these warnings since the
first line of /usr/bin/spamd '#!/usr/bin/perl -T -w' says to show warnings.
# If vpopmail config enabled then set $dir to virtual homedir
#
if ( $opt{'vpopmail'} ) {
my $vpopdir = $dir;
$dir = `$vpopdir/bin/vuserinfo -d $username`;
if ($? != 0) {
#
# If vuserinfo failed $username could be an alias
#
$dir = `$vpopdir/bin/valias $username`;
if ($? == 0 && $dir !~ /.+ -> &/) {
$dir =~ s,.+ -> (/.+)/Maildir/,$1,;
} else {
undef($dir);
}
}
chomp($dir);
}
my $cf_file = $dir . "/.spamassassin/user_prefs";
