I just set-up spamassassin on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 mail server and it appears that spamassassin is working as I am seeing messages that are now tagged as spam.
However, in my /var/log/maillog I keep seeing a message similar to the following and am unsure how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. Begin message in /var/log/maillog Apr 12 10:27:44 servername spamd[18456]: spamd: setuid to root succeeded Apr 12 10:27:44 servername spamd[18456]: spamd: still running as root: user not specified with -u, not found, or set to root, falling back to nobody at /usr/bin/spamd line 1147, <GEN212> line 4.
