Running spamd with --user-config

[Ilan Aisic <il...@pointer.co.il>]

Hi,
I've just modified SPAMDOPTIONS to run with --user-config and
restarted spamd.  For some reason it ignores my
$HOME/.spamassassin/user_prefs.

I sat the directory to be readonly to all but it's still ingored.
I've attached to spamd with `strace` on my Linux and I can see that it is
not
going to the home dir but rather attempts to open it from the root:

stat64("//.spamassassin/user_prefs", 0x804bd78) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory) 


Any hint how to rectify this?

I continued to debug this and when I ran spamd with -D I realized that it
probably doesn't have the user for some reason.
The log shows that every connection is treated as if coming from user
"nobody". 
My MTA is `exim`.  Perhaps I should change something in its setup.
Any help?

The log segment:
logmsg: connection from localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] at port 37526
logmsg: info: setuid to nobody succeeded
debug: read_scoreonly_config: cannot open "//.spamassassin/user_prefs": No
such file or directory
debug: user has changed
