spamd runs as root unless you specify a username for it to run as. By
default, if no username was used, spamd will setuid() to the username that
ran spamc.
I run with the parameters --username=spamd --group=spamd. It is a user and
group that is created upon installing SA on FreeBSD (probably all others as
well).
Made a mistake. --group=spamd should be --groupname=spamd. Sorry :(
sa-learn -u root -clear cleared this, and
NOW spamc -u spam does NOT trigger BAYES_99 any more! It does not trigger
any BAYES tests, so it looks it maybe uses root's account!
sa-learn -u spam dump magic show lots of tokens, ham and spam registered,
but spamc -u spam does not seem to see it.
As I know, unless the account actually exists on the server running SA, the
tokens are learned under the account spamd was ran as. That will either be
'root' or the username that spamd setuid() to from spamc (pending if the
account exists on the server).
spamassassin run as spam triggers BAYES_XX as it should.
