Greetings! I am hoping someone can confirm if this is a bug or
desired behaviour? Or if something else is causing it to go astray?
Running SA 3.13
SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -m5 -H"
Runs on a per user basis - i.e. users who want to use SA have this
code placed in
/home/user/domain-mail/.rc.local.init
--------------
DROPPRIVS=yes
:0fw
* < 256000

I am having an issue since upgrading from 2.64 to 3.13. I believe I
have narrowed down to this:
SpamAssassin.pm -> sub get_and_create_userstate_dir
# bug 4932: use the last default_userstate_dir entry if none of
the others
# already exist
$fname ||= $self->sed_path($default_userstate_dir[-1]);
Below is an excerpt from maillog. The top part shows a message
successfully going thru for user 'dilucy' who has had SA installed
previously. The bottom portion shows a message going thru for user
'council' - a new SA user. In theory this message encountered by SA
should trigger the creation of council's /.spamassassin/ folder and
user_prefs file. This was not happening. Via testing I found that
the user_prefs would be copied over if I manually created the
/.spamassassin/ folder first. Hence the reason for the "No such file
or directory" error means the .spamassassin folder is inexistant...
Not getting created.
In the logs below you will note that I added some extra warnings to
assist my troublehooting.
What I found is that it is $fname in this sub is being assigned the
file for 'dilucy', the last user instead of the current user. Then
the test if (!-d $fname) appears positive and so it skips the
mkpath command. In then returns to the other sub and resumes $fname
value for user 'council', trying to copy the user_prefs in a non
existant folder. I also found that if I hammered off several email
messages addressed to the 'council' account such that 2 messages in
a row handled by SA were both for user 'council', the second message
will correctly cause the creation of both the /.spamassassin/ folder
and the user_prefs file. This is because presumably, the last user
in this case ('council') was coincidentally the same as the current
user ('council').

I notice often several messages are handled by the same pid [1482]
even if different users? Could this be contributing to this issue,
and if so, what could you suggest to change to avoid that from
happening?
Many thanks in advance,
Jo
