So SpamAssassin seems to be looking for the user_prefs file in /none/.spamassassin/ ! When spamd is running as root (options : -m 5 -H /etc/spamassassin), it works properly (ie the user_prefs file is looked for in /home/<user>/.spamassassin/, is found, and is properly processed). Is it a SpamAssassin bug, or am I doing something improperly ? Regards.
