qmailq doesnt need to bind a port. the port is binded when run spamd, not spamc. spamc is just the client that makes a socket to the open port spamd runs on. i launch spamd as root with root@localhost# spamd -d then, i call spamc with the -f flag only from qmail-scanner which everyone knows runs as qmailq. you do not need to add a -u root to spamc to make this work... > -u username: specify the username for spamd to process this message under this basically tells spamd which user is calling it, that way spamd know which .spamassassin files to process. now if you look at your logs, it'll look like every message was processed for root if you do it that way.
