but I believe you need to add DROPPRIVS=yes to your procmailrc file.

Apologies, I had forgotten to do that. I have now added that line.

Well done. Found out it was a permisisons thing.

Have followed some points at
http://www.math.tamu.edu/computing/spamassassin.html

and changed permisisons. Not sure if they are correct though. (It's now
working, but possibly now a security risk?). I have:

chmod a+x /home/jim/.spamassassin/
chmod a+u /home/jim/.spamassassin/user_prefs

Does this sound okay? I'll try to RTFM now I know what I'm looking for.


Many thanks!



Jim
