My spamd is currently running as root, but I am thinking about changing it to run using Debian's pre-setup user (debian-spamd).

The problem with having a user-tailored database is that I will have to run sa-update for every user, right? Currently, Debian provides the aforementioned spamd user (debian-spamd) and runs sa-update on behalf of it. Therefore, I believe using a global database is probably better in this case.
