That user should have a homedir, and it should be writable. Also make sure it has the same access to /tmp that average-joe local users do.

Also, what OS are you using? How are you planning to call spamc? If you really must use SpamAssassin as a mere mortal, then you should call spamassassin, not spamc/spamd.
