Odds are you're running spamd as root, and calling spamc as root.
Normally, when run as root spamd setuid's itself to the caller of spamc.
However, if this turns out to also be root, spamd setuid's itself to
"nobody" for security reasons.
If you're calling spamc from a milter or some other system-wide way that
winds up always being root, then force spamd to run as a non-root user
by starting it with -u <username>. I'd suggest creating a new user
account for this purpose, one which has it's own real home directory it
can write to. It doesn't need to be able to login, but you'll want to be
able to su to it so you can run sa-learn and other database maintenance
tools.
Hi Matt
I run spamd as non-root user by using
#spamd -u kaushal &
but even then I am seeing the same error
