What are the permissions on /home/vpopmail? Does the vpopmail user have
RWX acccess to it?

What about /home/vpopmail/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist? is it a regular
file, or did someone create a directory by this name?

auto_whitelist path error

[Jeff Koch]

I'm getting this spamd error in the maillogs and I have AWL turned off. 
We're also using vpopmail and have the following spamd starting parameters:


SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -m5 -H -q -u vpopmail"

Can anyone tell me what we're doing wrong?

This whole setup is working properly on two other mailservers and we can't 
see what's different about the one. Any suggestions would be welcome.


TIA
