I'm not sure why root would have a problem writing to the file. sa-update-keys IS a directory, right? Try removing the sa-update-keys file/directory and then running the command again. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > The Wiki makes it sound like /var/lib/spamassassin/ is a good place > but I get an error there too.

You don't need to place the spam.key file anyplace special. Once you import the key, the important stuff will be copied over to the sa-update-keys directory and then you can delete the file. Just make sure the spam.key file is in your current directory when you run the 'sa-update --import' command, or you will have to specify the full path on the command line. -- Bowie
