I used the following test to check spamd 3.0.2 (unpatched) on my Mac OS X 10.3.7
Server box:
while [ /bin/true ] ; do
ps xuwwa|grep spam | grep child | grep -v "^root"
done
Initially, it spat out (repeatedly :-) every spamd child process, with "nobody"
as the owner. As mail came in, it was assigned to a spamd child process, which
ran the checks. Somewhere at/near the end of processing the message was when the
spamd child process stopped running as nobody and started running as root (I
could tell by watching the spamd child process CPU time increasing). Eventually
my little test app output nothing, indicating that all spamd children were
running as root.
As new mail was processed by spamd children that have already processed one
message, those spamd children are scanning my mail while running as root. So
spamd children runs as nobody the first time they process a message, but never
again.
