Hi, virtual-config-dir option for spamd man spamd Regards, Rick I tried this and it didn't work. I edited /etc/default/spamassassin and changed the options to OPTIONS=--create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir --virtual-config-dir=/config/%l/.spamassassin -x The result was SA creating a directory /config/.spamassassin owned by root. The line in/var/log/mail.log is Feb 17 09:27:11 hex spamd[15467]: Using default config for davisc: /config//.spamassassin/user_prefs I assume that even if this did work, the process can't run as the user.Correct? And if so, then the bayes token cannot be updated. Or new configs are created owned by root. Regards, Cian

Regards, Rick Still getting the same (I did confirm that the spamd process was running with the correct arguments). The problem here is that (for some reason) it's not expanding %l to the username. When you used this, did the spamd process su to the user involved? Regards, Cian
