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.

I am using global SA filtering, and run both spamd and spamc as the same user. The problem is that I get a log of errors in the log and I do not know what I have done to get them there (I am not a Perl expert!).
