Hi,
I've setup postfix and spamassassin (3.0) Debian (Sarge) to both use a
MySQL database for it's rulesets, I'm running spamassassin as a filter
in the /etc/postfix/master.cf file.
But the problem I have is no matter what I do, I cannot stop spamd from
writing to /root/.spamassassin/.
But further up in the debug output it prints the following:
spamd[12700]: debug: using "/root/.spamassassin" for user state dir
spamd[12700]: debug: lock: 12700 created
/root/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.mutex
spamd[12700]: debug: lock: 12700 trying to get lock on
/root/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist with 30 timeout
spamd[12700]: debug: lock: 12700 link to
/root/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.mutex: link ok
spamd[12700]: debug: Tie-ing to DB file R/W in
/root/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist
Apart from this, it seems to be running ok, but for the life of me I
cannot stop it writing to the root directory.
If anyone can point anything out, I would be grateful
I have spamassassin 3.1 installed on Debian, running spamd as root.
According to the README file the auto-whitlist should be created
seperately for each user that calls spamc (unless a global AWL is used
by setting auto_whitelist_path), yet I show the same as you, and the
auto-whitelist file for other users is not created.
Perhaps the problem is that the user is not calling spamc, but rather
the MTA. It does make the auto-whitelisting feature less useful, I
think, if it's not per user.
I don't have the energy to try to sort this out, but I might suggest you
check how spamc is being called and by which user.

Good day, eh.
