Re: SpamAssassin and the nonexistent home directory.

2007-02-22 Thread Steve Bernacki

Start spamd with -D (debug) on both servers to see where and how
spamassassin is configuring itself.  Chances are there is some subtle
configuration variation that is causing this behavior.  It's easy for this
to happen given the fact that spamassassin reads through a number of
directories for configuration information when it starts up.

Well, first I'd check that /var/spool/spamd does exist on both boxes. 
Probably then I would try `id` and `finger` perhaps, on the spamd user, 
and hope that the output might give me a clue.

SpamAssassin and the nonexistent home directory.

I'm confused as to why on box #1 I have in /etc/rc.conf:
