can spamd be told what domains are local for "spamc -u"?

[Jason Haar]

I'm the author of the Qmail content filter Qmail-Scanner, and currently 
it calls spamc as "spamc -u [EMAIL PROTECTED]" so as to help out the sites 
doing per-user SA configs.

I've assumed that anyone wanting to do this would be using SQL backends 
(so requiring them to refer to local accounts as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is 
fine) - but apparently I presumed too much! Some are just interested in 
standard old /home/$USER/.spamassassin/ style lookups. Now calling 
"spamc -u [EMAIL PROTECTED]" doesn't work for them as there is no local 
username called "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

So I could add yet another feature to Qmail-Scanner where it will strip 
back to the username - or SpamAssassin could.

I don't mind either way - it's just that I wonder if this is also an 
issue for other SA-integrated MTAs (milter, postfix), so thought I'd 
post it out for comment? Maybe others can suggest another way of doing 
it? [Let's not dwell on the fact that spamd may have to run as root for 
this mode to work...]

Thanks
