So I'm not the only one with this &^%$#@@* problem. You are assuming incorrect. He ran a spamassassin debug as root. You try to run spamd as root. As has been said several times by others in the "other" thread. Don't do this. Set the spamd up like it is explained in the readme. If it doesn't work that means you didn't follow the instructions. Go back and do it again. If there is an rpm for your distribution you may want to try this instead of compiling and installing yourself. Also, you have other errors in your log output that you can't overlook, fix them. Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com
