spamd: cannot run as nonexistent user or root with -u option
spamd must not be startet with the -u option as root, the whole
purpose is to have the daemon process running as root and then "spamc"
is invoked with the -u param of the user which is target of the
incoming message
any daemons binding to port below 1024 must be started as root, knowing
this could solve alot of problems on maillists :=)
but there was a dokument error on what -x do on spamd
note apache or postfix or dovecot droppriveleges to not serve daemonsd
as root later, this is very easy to see in top, for apache that there is
ONE apache running as root, but multiple apache not running as root
spamd does the same seen from spamc
and -u on spamd is not usefull if user_prefs is needed or enabled
