Matt, Thanks for the reply. I ended up writing a perl script to copy all the spam to learn into a neutral location group owned. In that same script I then change the effective user id, and try to learn. However, it still is not learning as the effective user. The script runs as root, and still tries to learn as root
Is there some reason for this?
