For ages I've been running my email through regular spamassassin... the appropriate bits of my maildroprc being:

import SENDER

if ($SENDER ne "")
{
        FROM=$SENDER
}
else
{
        FROM="unknown"
}

CLEAN_FROM=escape($FROM);

if ($SIZE < 65536)
{
        exception {
                xfilter "/usr/bin/spamassassin"
        }
}



So... changed maildroprc to do xfilter "/usr/bin/spamc"

But now its going horribly wrong.

Since the amound of spam I'm getting has been on the increase, I thought I would change to running spamassassin in spamd/spamc mode.

Its strange that getpwuid is failing in courierlocal, since in the previous

No, it's not.

line, courier correctly knows the location (yep: I'm doing virtual hosting here).

Something is broken in spamc.  You should look in that direction.

The 'getpwuid() failed' message is coming from spamc. The next logged message, from maildrop, is the key. You're invoking spamc inside an exception block. spamc bombs out with this message, maildrop correctly detects and logs this error, but because you are ignoring exception the message is considered to be delivered succesfully.
