Hello John, I'm guessing that you are probably running spamc via a global /etc/procmailrc file. If so, you need to include the line DROPPRIVS=yes somewhere within the spamc rule (or at the top of your procmail file if this is what you want). The log message is actually a result of the global procmail running as root. The DROPPRIVS=yes will force it to run as the user that will be receiving the local delivery of the message. -- Corwin Grey, MCP Application Development Network Engineering Network Operations Services http://www.techtell.com _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
