Well, you are right. But that's something I can handle if I want - just didn't have the time yet. > What MTA are you running? How are you calling spamassassin? Sendmail, Spamass-Milter. After installing spamass-milter it is set to run as root but it has a security fallback; it doesn't use root all the time. Maybe that's causing this behaviour that it writes into /root/.spamassassin but using the user "spamd". Regards Peter -- Peter Guhl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NetzWerkCenter GmbH
