Right. "spamd -u user" specifies the user that the spamd children will process mails as, which as previously stated for security reasons isn't allowed to be root. If you want spamd to switch uid to who's calling spamd, remove the "-u" option and it'll work that way by default. -- Randomly Selected Tagline: "Before his State of the Union speech, the president's niece was arrested for trying to fill a fake prescription for the anti-anxiety drug Xanax.
