Hi,
I am very new to Spamassassin and trying to have it work with the
Citadel mail server which has support for spamassassin. I'm running
Spamassassin 3.3.2-2ubuntu1 on Ubuntu Server Edtion 12.04 LTS x64. The
entries I get in the mail.log when mail is being delivered are:

Could someone point me in the right direction so I can solve this
issue, or these issues even?
The error indicates that the Bayes component of your spamassassin
cannot create the lock file
"/nonexistent/.spamassassin/bayes.lock.concerto.XXXXXXXX.com.7687"
First order of business, what do you get when you do a "ls -ld
/nonexistent/.spamassassin"
Does that directory exist? What are its ownership and permissions?
Is it writable by the UID that your spamd is running under?
Bottom line, the spamassassin Bayes module needs a writable working
directory. Your error messages imply that the directory that your
spamassassin configuration is telling your Bayes to use (that
"/nonexistent/.spamassassin" thing) has issues.
So either you need to fix that directory or fix your configuration to
tell it where the directory it -should- be using is.
I don't know that "Citadel" kit, you may be better off finding some
discussion list which is specifically about it. Just guessing by
that directory name ("/nonexistent/") it's something that you need
to explicitly create and change your configuration to point to.
