I have recently transferred all of my email system to a new machine, but spamassassin is not yet fully functional.
It seems that it is trying to use /var/mail/.spamassassin as a data directory - this is fine, but it does not appear to be correctly set up. Errors like these are appearing in my syslog: Nov 9 12:02:30 fitzalan spamd[8916]: config: cannot create user preferences file /var/mail/.spamassassin/user_prefs: Permission denied Nov 9 12:02:30 fitzalan spamd[8916]: spamd: failed to create readable default_prefs: /var/mail/.spamassassin/user_prefs What can I do to get this directory right and working? Also, what do I need to do to enable access to spamd from my other machines, where the mail is actually read? -- Phil Reynolds mail: phil-spamassas...@tinsleyviaduct.com
