Re: [SAtalk] Problem with spamd as non-root user
Hi Theo, Tanks for your help! You where correct that it was due to old rule files from the prior installation of SA. Regards, Kim.

Re: [SAtalk] Problem with spamd as non-root user
Hi Michael, Tanks for your help! I took your advice and raised the port number, and it helped but not on the problems I reported in this thread. These problems seemed to be old rule files from the prior installation of SA. The reason for running SA as a non-root was to have a home dir. with all the config files in one place, and not so much security. regards, Kim. First, you will have to change the port spamd uses since only root accounts can attach to port numbers 1024. Second, check the rights to ALL the spamassassin files. Spamd must be able to read, and sometimes write to all the configs, databases, etc. Third... Oh, forget it. Just run spamd as root and use iptables to only allow access to port 783 from 127.0.0.1 and you're about as secure as you're going to get.
