Hello,

I have upgraded SpamAssassin from 3.1.8 to 3.2.4 today. First I got errors about a "nonexistent" path all the time. Then I added the path to the auto_whitelist directory in local.cf. Now I get this error message every few seconds:

Apr 4 20:01:36 mond spamd[14283]: auto-whitelist: open of auto-whitelist file failed: locker: safe_lock: cannot create lockfile /root/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.mutex: Permission denied

This time, I couldn't find a solution on the web. Here's the directory listing:

20:35 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/.spamassassin > ls -al
total 516
drwx------   2 root root   4096 Apr  4 16:35 ./
drwxr-xr-x  14 root root   4096 Apr  4 19:03 ../
-rw-------   1 root root  12288 Apr  4 16:42 auto-whitelist
-rw-------   1 root root      6 Apr  4 19:03 auto-whitelist.mutex
-rw-------   1 root root    350 Apr  4 17:42 bayes.mutex
-rw-------   1 root root  24576 Apr  4 17:42 bayes_seen
-rw-------   1 root root 647168 Apr  4 17:42 bayes_toks

What's the problem? Before the upgrade, I removed all traces from SA on the system (locate & rm -rf). It was previously installed through CPAN. But I don't think that CPAN is that "comprehensive" at all and decided not to use it again where I can. This SA was installed from the tarball. The /root/.spamassassin directory was created automatically then.

So if it doesn't work out of the box, what can I do next?
