Invoke 'ps axu' and look for the line regarding spamd. The uid under which
is running will be at the first column of the line.

  I am running Exim, added the mailnull uid as well, but that didn't seem to
work either.

    Isn't it the uid under which your MTA runs?

      Hi, I recently installed the DCC plugin for SA (default install on
CentOS 4.4).

      I opened the outgoing destination port 6277 UDP for uid 0 (root) and
uid 99 (nobody). I noticed this didn't work, so I opened port 6277 for all
users to get DCC working.

      I'd rather only give outgoing access to port 6277 to the uid's who
require it. How can I figure out which uid's spamd is running under when
connecting to DCC?
      I assumed it was either root or nobody, but apparently this is not the
case (at least on my server), since the firewall kept blocking the DCC
requests, after I allowed root and nobody outgoing access to port 6277.
