Package: spamassassin
Version: 3.1.0a-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
I run spamassassin with the following command line:
spamd -c -H -m 2 -i 0.0.0.0 -A some-ips --syslog-socket=unix
Both local and remote users use spamc -f in their .procmailrc to have their
mail filtered. auto-whitelisting is turned on.
Sometimes (often), the following happens:

The username of remoteuser doesn't exist locally, so spamd is right in
falling back to nobody. However, it shouldn't try to fiddle with the
auto-whitelist settings of localuser (incidentally, one of the local users
who also use spamc -f).
Could it be that spamd somehow unintentionally remembers the location of the
last auto-whitelist file it updated, and only changes this value if the
specified local username exists, but not on falling back to the nobody user?
