Why does it matter if one of your users uses some other user's user_prefs file. As far as I am concerned I do not care if one of my users uses another user's user_prefs file. They would only hurt themselves by using some other user_prefs file. You do want to limit who can access the spamd server, but beyond that I would not care. I hope you understood that. Just a note, I have over 250 different user_prefs file from over 200 different server with 3 spamd server doing the work. > > Now there is also the 'spamd --auth-ident' option available.
