I'm using spamassassin for some weeks, and all is working fine. I just have two questions:

1. While checking my logs, I find this string each time a mail is

Sep  9 10:59:45 HOSTNAME spamd[3126]: spamd: handle_user unable to find
user: 'USERNAME'
Sep  9 10:59:45 HOSTNAME spamd[3126]: spamd: processing message
<msg...@other.domain.ltd> for USERNAME:1004

where USERNAME comes from usern...@domain.ltd

I assume "domain.ltd" is your domain?

Is your MTA configured to accept any recipient address, even if it does not exist? If so, you might want to consider turning that feature off, so that the MTA will reject invalid usernames at SMTP time.
