I read the man docs and I need to specify "-u username" so the question
is where do I put this? I create a username called spam and gave it full
rights to where the bayes tok files are to be located.
I tried to add it to SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -m5 -H -u spam" Is this correct
because after I restarted the service I still see the same error
message. :(

If you read the spamd man page, it tells you how to specify the user to
run
as. You will also want to check out the Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf
man/pod to
see configuration options related to bayes_path, etc.
