How are you calling spamc? You may have to change your setup a little
to include explicit reference to the real destination user:
spamc -u {user}
where {user} is a variable of some kind filled in by the caller.
Where you get the information, and how you fill it in, depends on your
specific setup.

These two entries are the critical ones. spamd isn't properly dropping
permissions to the appropriate user for some reason.
So far as spamd is concerned, the message is destined for root.
