I hear what you say, and I have $HOME/.spamassassin/user_prefs set up with some arguments. spamd is running as root, I am running spamc as root, but still it won't do its thing when I test it. Are you saying that procmail, and hence spamc, gets run as the account that is the RCPT of the email or as the user running sendmail/procmail. -- Howard.
