I edited /etc/default/spamassassin and changed the options to OPTIONS="--create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir --virtual-config-dir=/config/%l/.spamassassin -x"
The result was SA creating a directory /config/.spamassassin owned by root. The line in/var/log/mail.log is Feb 17 09:27:11 hex spamd[15467]: Using default config for davisc: /config//.spamassassin/user_prefs I assume that even if this did work, the process can't run as the user.Correct? And if so, then the bayes token cannot be updated. Or new configs are created owned by root. Regards, Cian
