Hello, I run a SpamAssassin installation where we run spamd system-wide under a dedicated account, and users filter their mail with spamc. When we upgraded to 3.1.0, we noticed that a spamd process always runs as root now.
I found the rationale for this at <http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=4758>, and it makes plenty of sense. I was wondering if it'd be possible to get a rough outline of what tasks spamd runs as root, however, so I can look for areas where we might need to harden security. I'd appreciate any information you can provide about this. Thanks in advance, -- Brett Smith
