"(unknown)" errors in mail.log for user name when running spamd on
OS X
If I start spamd as user 'bruce' it writes to the mail.log, (for example):
"(unknown):54". It correctly reports the number of the bruce account
but it doesn't pickup the name associated with it.
I tried this with several different accounts and with each one, it reports
(unknown):[user number].
Or for example, if I start as user "nobody": /usr/bin/spamd -u nobody -d
You'll see logs like this:
Aug 25 20:14:56 G518X2 spamd[6491]: logmsg: identified spam (13.4/5.0)
for (unknown):-2 in 0.3 seconds, 1482 bytes.
Aug 25 20:14:56 G518X2 spamd[6491]: identified spam (13.4/5.0) for
(unknown):-2 in 0.3 seconds, 1482 bytes.
Note that -2 is the user number in /etc/passwd by default. Not sure why
-2 is given as the user number either...
So, perhaps there's something wrong with the way spamd accesses the user
info on OS X?
I don't see anything regarding this problem on the
