Hello Why is spamd running with a home directory under /tmp ?
I have spamassassin working as a mail filter under Amavis and Postfix and SuSE. I am trying to use spamd to speed things up. I have two problems 1) I don't think that Amavis is actually using spamd 2) Spamd is not configuring correctly. I am using spamassassin v2.64, amavis-new v20030616p5-23, perl v5.8.1-81, postfix v2.0.14-41, SuSE v9.0 My /etc/sysconfig/spamd has: SPAMD_ARGS="-d -a -L -D -x -u vscan" My /usr/share/spamassassin is the default My /etc/mail/spamassassin has only local.cf which has: required_hits 5.0 rewrite_subject 1 subject_tag [spam] report_safe 1 use_terse_report 0 use_bayes 1 bayes_path /var/spool/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes bayes_file_mode 0666 auto_learn 1 skip_rbl_checks 1 ok_languages all ok_locales all The user vscan has a home directory of /var/spool/amavis When I start spamd my /var/log/mail log gets: Dec 6 14:12:12 Pangloss spamd[23172]: debug: daemonized.

I have tried putting -H /var/spool/amavis into SPAMD_ARGS, makes no difference. Thanks for any help, Paul Hilton
