Following the above tut, step 2 fails as root owns the /etc/mail tree, and the user running SA has no perms. What should the owner/group actually be for that? I changed it to $user:mail and that seemed to fix it. Now however, I find other spamassassin trees (like /usr/share/spamassassin where all these .cf files live) are also owned by root, can I just chown them to that user:mail too? >-> http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/? >action=fullsearch&context=180&value=sa-update > >Kai Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
