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
