Just upgraded our mailserver (~400 users) to ubuntu 12.04 using
sendmail/procmail/spamassasin with SA userprefs from MySQL database.
We had been using Bayes with db stored in user's home DIR with no
problems previously, but it's failing now.
with spamd invoked with "-Q -H -u nobody -x --max-children 5"
I get
spamd: spamd: fatal error: setuid to [user] (748) failed at
/usr/sbin/spamd line 2375, <GEN22> line 2
with -q instead of -Q if get
plugin: eval failed: bayes: (in learn) locker: safe_lock: cannot
create tmp lockfile /nonexistent/.spamassassin/bayes.lock.24057 for
/nonexistent/.spamassassin/bayes.lock: No such file or directory
It's pretty obvious that spamd is unable to setuid to the mail user,
but why? I do notice that the package "perl-suid" has been removed
from ubuntu.
SpamAssassin Server version 3.3.2
running on Perl 5.14.2
procmailrc:
# filter using spamassassin
DROPPRIVS=yes
:0fw: spamassassin.lock
* < 500000
| spamc
Any help would be much appreciated. I have scoured google to no avail.
