Thanks for the tip.  Over the weekend I finally fixed my problem.  For
starters, in order to use spamc (instead of spamassassin) you have to
have spamd running.  I'm starting spamd like so:
spamd -d -a -v -x -u vpopmail -H /home/vpopmail/

For some reason maildrop didn't like my original mailfilter so I used
the following that was posted on the qmailadmin list recently:


Remove the -u from the spamd startup line, you shouldn't need the -H either.
Your mailfilter calls spamc with the -u command, so you don't need it with
spamd.
By the way, I use the same filter, and it works great.

My spamd line is: /usr/bin/spamd -v -a -c

If I use your spamd line (/usr/bin/spamd -v -a -c), I get the following 
error in /var/log/maillog:

My mailfilter invokes spamc as "/usr/local/bin/spamc -f -u [EMAIL PROTECTED]". 
 Any idea why I'm getting that error?  Also, shouldn't you be using the 
-d flag to daemonize spamd?

I changed my spamd.sh start-up script as follows (the only change from 
my previous start-up script is that I removed the -x and the -H 
/home/vpopmail option):

---start---
# Startup / shutdown script for SpamAssassin daemon
case "$1" in
    start)
        /usr/local/bin/spamd -d -a -v -u vpopmail && echo -n ' spamd'
        ;;
    stop)
        spamdpid=`ps -ax | grep spamd | grep -v grep | grep -v sh | awk 
'{ print $1 }'`
        if [ "$spamdpid" != "" ]; then
                kill $spamdpid > /dev/null 2>&1
                echo -n " spamd"
        fi
        ;;

    *)
        echo "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}" >&2
        ;;
esac
exit 0
---end---
Now Spamassassin creates the .spamassassin folder in the vpopmail users 
folder (ex: /home/vpopmail/domains/debaser.net/test/.spamassassin) the 
first time an email is sent to that users address.  The .razor folder 
and it's settings are still saved in the /home/vpopmail folder.

The question is how do I get spamassassin to copy a default user_prefs 
file to the users vpopmail folder (so eventually my users can edit there 
own spamassassin settings)?  I setup a user_prefs file in 
usr/local/share/spamassassin/ but spamassassin didn't copy it to the 
vpopmail users .spamassassin folder.  Any ideas?
