+1 on the setgid change, once it's accompanied by some documentation in 
spamc.pod.

-1 on the changing the default to use a UNIX domain socket instead of TCP,
however; changing the defaults is not a good way to deal with Dean's problem, it
works for him but will break virtually everyone else ;)

instead we should come up with a way for spamc to have a configuration file of
systemwide defaults (/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamc.conf), so people who want to
allow users to not have to remember what options to use can just set them once
in that file.

BTW regarding the setgid change: it may be better to accompany that with a new
option which *disables* that new paranoia, just in case.  For example, what if I
have my MTA running as uid="mymta", delivering using "spamc -u jm", with a
hidden UNIX-domain socket as Dean describes?  it won't work, because this patch
only allows -u+setgid if spamc is running as root.  there's a possibility there
are people out there using something like that, and we just don't know it; if we
break this use case we should provide a way to fix it again.
