You've got spamd running as the user "postfix" (that "-u postfix"
command line argument). Thus the user postfix needs to have write
permissions to the bayes_* files. but in that directory listing
you show:
> 4160 -rw------- 1 user staff 5111808 Dec 4 09:51 bayes_toks
So 'postfix' has -no- access permissions to "user"s bayes_toks
Thus the permission errors.
You have two different options:
1) run spamd as root and be sure that you pass the correct user
name via "spamc -u user" for each message.
2) Set the global 'bayes_file_mode' option to 0666 so that the
spamd process always has read-write permission, regardless
of who it is run as.
