Here is the line, in the display of: su saupdate -c "crontab -e": 45 2 * * 2 /usr/bin/sa-update --gpghomedir /var/lib/spamassassin/keys So it should be running as saupdate. This is executed silently: [r...@coyote linux-2.6.30-rc8]# su saupdate -c "/usr/bin/sa-update --gpghomedir /var/lib/spamassassin/keys" [r...@coyote linux-2.6.30-rc8]# And I have not received an email from it, so I assume that 0700 fixed it. However, I haven't been impressed with the sa-learn operation recently, I have fed it at least 100 messages from one site, and still can't get a score over 3 for those.
