Hello guys,
Since yesterday I'm running a server with ubuntu 14.04.1 and
spamassassin version
3.4.0-1ubuntu2. Spamassassin was installed as a package from the ubuntu
repositories. SpamAssassin runs in daemon mode with a user named spamd.
This morning I got the following email. It indicates, that there is
something wrong with my permission settings.
/etc/cron.daily/spamassassin:
Jan 12 02:42:56.374 [23592] warn: config: path
"/var/lib/spamassassin/.spamassassin/user_prefs" is inaccessible:

"/var/lib/spamassassin/.spamassassin/user_prefs" doesn't exist. The
directory permissions are as follows:
:~# ll -d /var/lib/spamassassin/.spamassassin
drwx------ 3 spamd spamd 4096 Jan 12 05:01
/var/lib/spamassassin/.spamassassin/
Now, I have two questions:
1. Do I have to create the file user_prefs manually?
2. What are the correct permissions for the directory and the file?
Thanks in advance.
John
