non existant directory errors

[Jean-Paul Natola <jn...@familycareintl.org>]

Hi everyone ,

I'm noticing a lot of entries in my maillog regarding a non-existent
directory
-
Google came up with this-
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.spam.spamassassin.general/72541

I'm not entirely sure I'm grasping what to do here-

I do not have per-user config- and spamd runs as root-

Here's the excerpt from the page-

If you're not doing per-user configs, create yourself a spamd user, and pass
that to spamd's -u, then use that user for your sa-learning, and housing your
user_prefs, etc.


if this is the resolution for me- how do I "pass to spamd -u"

It means that some user calling spamd has a homedir set to /nonexistant.

So you're running site-wide?  Have you modified the AWL path from ~/
(that's what complaining in the error you posted)?
