This is correct.  Several months ago, I brought this up on the SA list,
suggesting that someone who knew the code better than me could hack in
HOME recognition pretty easily (there are other variables that spamc
gives to spamd, and HOME looked like it would be pretty easy to add). 
Unfortunately, the general answer I got from people was "why would
anyone want to do that - why not just use mysql configuration, etc?"

With that attitude, I took it that even if I took the time to patch
spamd to accept HOME, and found a C coder (which I am not) to patch
spamc, the patch would likely be ignored.
