I continued to debug this and when I ran spamd with -D I realized that it
probably doesn't have the user for some reason.
The log shows that every connection is treated as if coming from user
"nobody". 
My MTA is `exim`.  Perhaps I should change something in its setup.
Any help?

The log segment:
logmsg: connection from localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] at port 37526
logmsg: info: setuid to nobody succeeded
debug: read_scoreonly_config: cannot open "//.spamassassin/user_prefs": No
such file or directory
debug: user has changed
