No, you cannot, other than by using ~/ to direct it into their home directory at a site-wide level. The same goes for any path setting. This has to do with security concerns. Spamd is a mixed privilege application (started as root, setuid'ed later), and giving the user power to dictate directories could cause a security hole if something went awry in spamd's setuid process. By default user's also can't create any rule statements which might have regular expressions in them, for the same reasons. > When using "spamassassin -D -r" I can see that the user bayes is used > correctly. Yes, the spamassassin script doesn't enforce any security rules, and will accept any parameter in user_prefs, even admin settings. This is because spamassassin always runs as the current user, it never starts as one user then setuid's to another. No mixed-privilege security problems possible.
