Hi,
security(8) iterates over /var/mail and check is the files belong to the
owner of the same name. So far so good, but spamd.conf.5 says:
override:\
:white:\
:method=file:\
:file=/var/mail/override.txt:
myblack:\
:black:\
:msg=/var/mail/myblackmsg.txt:\
:method=file:\
:file=/var/mail/myblack.txt:
so the user *black.txt* and/or *override.txt* are assumed to exist
by security(8). As it says:
Checking mailbox ownership.
user myblack.txt mailbox is owned by _spamd
The following diff documents this in the manpage of spamd.conf(5) by
changing the path to /var/mail/_spamd/.
I thought about changing security(8) to fix this, but _spamd is the name
of the user, so it does whats it's supposed to do.
Comments? Because the notification above is very annoying.
--f.
