I'm *almost* done setting this up (again), and am trying to sprt out the user ID problem. I'd previously been running everything as root, and it all worked. I'm uncomfortable doing this, though, and so am trying to run everything as user spamassassin. I've got spamd running properly, I think, but for some reason spamass-milter is looking in ~root/.spamassassin/user_prefs instead of the file in its own home directory:
Apr 1 12:27:13 davinci spamd[22997]: Creating default_prefs [/root/.spamassassin/user_prefs] Apr 1 12:27:13 davinci spamd[22997]: Cannot write to /root/.spamassassin/user_prefs: Permission denied Apr 1 12:27:13 davinci spamd[22997]: Couldn't create readable default_prefs for [/root/.spamassassin/user_prefs] and yet in the /etc/sysconfig/spamass-milter file I've got: SM_EXTRA_FLAGS="-u spamassassin" I figure there must be another configuration file somewhere, as I see the following in ps: root 23469 1 0 11:47 ? 00:00:00 spamass-milter -p /var/run/spamass.sock -f -m -r 15 My invocation from sendmail.cf is: Xclmilter, S=local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock, F=, T=C:1m;S:4m;R:4m (in sendmail.mc it is: INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clmilter', `S=local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock, F=, T=C:1m;S:4m;R:4m')dnl) I was under the impression that the -u flag in SM_EXTRA_FLAGS would be picked up, but apparently not. Where have I gone wrong? Thanks again, -Don
