We've got a few boxen running spamd as non-privileged user, but spamassassin milter runs as root with no problems. On the flip-side to your query, I haven't found anything that states spamass milter shouldn't be run as root. > Also, a related question: is it worth installing pyzor, or will > spamassassin on its own be enough?

Our situation is that we're an ISP, so we like the extra checking to be as absolutely sure as possible that we're only rejecting real spam. of course a few spams still trickle through but we haven't had a single false positive. -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd 021-295-1923 www.knossos.net.nz
