Re: "mkdir /dev/null: File exists" with every email thru SA 3.1.0

[Brian Kendig]

I'm still not able to figure this out.  I can find no reason why  
SpamAssassin should be trying to create files in anybody's home  
directory, but I'm still seeing this error logged every time spamd  
processes a message:

  spamd: mkdir /dev/null: File exists at ///Library/Perl/5.8.1/Mail/ 
SpamAssassin.pm line 1467

I'm running spamd as "spamd -d -x -u nobody", I've commented out AWL  
from v310.pre, and I set "bayes_auto_learn 0" so that it shouldn't  
try to create a Bayes database.  I have no idea why it keeps  
complaining about not being able to create a file in /dev/null.

Exim is running as user 'exim', which has no home directory, but this  
wasn't a problem for SpamAssassin 3.0.4 and I don't know why spamd,  
which is running as 'nobody', should care what user is connecting to it.

What am I forgetting to disable so that spamd won't try to create a  
per-user config file?
