I looked for these errors in the mail archives and have not found them.
I currently have Qmail-scanner set with spamassassin as the only
external program available.  I am waiting for a license for a/v
software.

It seems that every time I get email, someone tries to make a directory
in /var/qmail.  Since there is not one there, I assume they don't have
permission.

Jan 10 14:18:52 ns1 spamd[5879]: connection from localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] at 
port 3618
Jan 10 14:18:52 ns1 spamd[9669]: info: setuid to qmailq succeeded
Jan 10 14:18:52 ns1 spamd[9669]: Creating default_prefs 
[/var/qmail/.spamassassin/user_prefs]

Since qmail is only writable by root, either I have the wrong permission
on my /var/qmail directory, or the wrong user is trying to write it. 
Which is correct?

drwxr-xr-x   10 root     qmail        1024 Jun  1  2001 qmail/

This could be the reason that email passing though my system get lines
which say they are spam.

Are my permissions or ownerships wrong?  Any suggestions?
