Hi all,
Hope you can help. Just upgraded my SpamAssassin to 3.1.2 from 3.0.2 and
I'm now seeing warnings in syslog that weren't appearing before.
They seem to relate to spamd running as user 'antispam', yet it wants
access to read/write files in $HOME/.spamassassin:

I tried making $HOME/.spamassassin read/write [mode 777, not really what I
want to do] but got this:

A google suggested that it's running with per-user configs, so I added -x
to spamd and that just moved the problem to the root directory:

Now there must be a setting somewhere to set where spamd wants to write its
files to, but I haven't found it yet. If someone can give me some pointers
(as I've not seen anything in the FAQ, and couldn't find the right phrase
for google to give be a solid answer), it'd be appreciated :-)
System Overview:
SpamAssassin 3.1.2
Qmail 1.0.3
SpamAssassin running as:
/usr/bin/spamd -d -r /var/run/spamd.pid -u antispam -p 7783
spamd being access via .procmailrc with the following rule:
:0 wf
|/usr/bin/spamc -f -s 300000 -p 7783
Qmail configured to deliver user mail to $HOME/Mailbox
Cheers,
Chris...
