I assume your are not using sendmail then? As you import this key only once I'd rather do that step as root. Then requires root for changing it as well - which I think is good. > 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? sa-update does not write to this directory, so you can ignore that. But you will see problems with writing to /var/lib/spamassassin I suppose. I'm running sa- update as root, don't know what others are doing.
