Hi guys,

My maillog complain like this:

Jul 25 09:40:06 MAIL spamd[67623]: spamd: still running as root: user not 
specified with -u, not found, or set to root, falling back to nobody

Jul 25 09:40:13 MAIL spamd[67623]: auto-whitelist: open of auto-whitelist file 
failed: locker: safe_lock: cannot create tmp lockfile 
/nonexistent/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock.MAIL.67623 for 
/nonexistent/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock: No such file or directory

I google it and found out that i need to run spamd with '-u <user>' flag.

>From BSD guide website spamd has a flag of  '-u qscand'. However, there is no 
detail on how the qscand user has been created.

How to create a user for spamd correctly or securely?

What do you have in /etc/rc.conf, I have
spamd_enable="YES"
spamd_flags="-u spamd -H /var/spool/spamd"

In my case, the spamd user got created automagically.
