I am trying to run SA site-wide. That sounds far grander than it actually is. I am running fetchmail -> procmail -> clamav -> SA on a FC6 platform which acts as a server for my home system.
What I am trying to achieve is as follows: fetchmail scoops up all the mail for all the various POP3 accounts and passes it to procmail which (running as root) first scans it for viruses and then for spam (using SA). Only if the mail is clean does it then put mail for my wife in /var/spool/mail/wifey, for my children in /var/spool/mail/kiddies and anything else gets sorted for mailing lists (e.g. this one) etc and what remains is put into /var/spool/mail/me. The problem is that (running procmail as root) if I follow the instructions I have found on various setup guides (including the SA wiki) I am supposed to put "DROPPRIVS=yes" into /etc/procmailrc. If I do that SA works fine, but procmail is unable to put mail for my other users in their /var/spool/mail directories. If I leave out DROPPRIVS=yes the direction of mail works fine but I get these entries in /var/log/maillog: Aug 7 14:45:20 mydomain spamd[1541]: auto-whitelist: open of auto-whitelist file failed: locker: safe_lock: cannot create tmp lockfile /.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock.mydomain.org.uk.1541 for /.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock: No such file or directory Aug 7 14:45:20 mydomain spamd[1541]: spamd: clean message (-2.5/5.0) for root:99 in 16.1 seconds, 5626 bytes.
