and it is working, with some important caviats. So I asked for help on
the spamassassin user list, and got some, but I think I am butting up
against some Centos specific issues...
So over at spamassassin list I was told not to let spamassassin run as
root. To create a user: spamfilter. and add -u spamfilter to the start
command.
So I created the user and group. I ran the spamassassin --lint and -D
--lint
Then I went to /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin and change the lines:
# Set default spamd configuration.
SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -m5 -H"
SPAMD_PID=/var/run/spamd.pid
to
# Set default spamd configuration.
SPAMDOPTIONS="-u spamfilter -d -c -m5 -H"
SPAMD_PID=/var/run/spamd.pid
And then did:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin restart
and spamassassin is still running as root and I am still getting these errors....
Robert,
check if you have the directory
/home/spamfilter
and try adding the extra (-u spamfilter) param in
/etc/sysconfig/spamassassin
