Well, it should be somewhat self explanatory.. You need to add a "-u
someusername" parameter to spamd's startup when using "--vopmail".
See also man spamd:
---------------------
**-v*, *--vpopmail**
Enable vpopmail config. If specified with with *-u* set to the
vpopmail user, this allows spamd to lookup/create user_prefs in the
vpopmail user's own maildir. This option is useful for vpopmail
virtual users who do not have an entry in the system /etc/passwd file.
Currently, use of this without *-u* is not supported. This inhibits
setuid.
---------------------
And
---------------------
**-u* /username/, *--username*=/username/*
Run as the named user. If this option is not set, the default
behaviour is to |setuid()| to the user running |spamc|, if |spamd|
is running as root.
Note: ``--username=root'' is not a valid option. If specified,
|spamd| will exit with a fatal error on startup.
