[gentoo-user] how to update spamassassin with sa-update

Hi, installation notes for spamassassin say you need to do the rule updates yourself by running 'sa-update'. Now I'd do that with a crontab entry, and I don't want to add it to root's crontab. As what user should I run it, and where do I put the crontab entry for it? -- Again we must be
