[Bug 3256] New: A new feature for spamd

http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3256

           Summary: A new feature for spamd
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://www.shirleyfamily.net/spamdpatch/
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamc/spamd
        AssignedTo: spamassassin-dev@incubator.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bill@shirleyfamily.net


When changing my system to use courier-imap and virtual domains,
I encountered a problem with spamd.  How could I get spamd to
process the new virtual email accounts?  I tried --virtual-config-dir
but that created problems with existing users.  I coded a patch
that adds a new config parameter called --virtual-config-account.

I now run spamd with these options:
-d -c -m5 -x --virtual-config-dir=/home/vmail/%d/%l/.spamassassin --virtual-
config-account=vmail

When spamc sends a username that is in /etc/passwd, the user is
processed as a real account.  When spamc sends a virtual username
the virtual config directory substitution is made and the user id is
changed to the username given with the --virtual-config-account (in
my case "vmail").

Find the patch at the URL.
