 Then, setup spamd to start with the system, and you are ready to go.  If you wish to provide spamassassin
 preferences, change "user=nobody" to a valid system user (except for root, since Postfix will NOT call external programs as root), and add .spamassassin into that user's home directory.
 
+If you use user preferences stored in SQL, you should change "spamassassin" service in master.cf to following:

+}}}
+Notice "-u ${recepint}" added. Otherwise "username" field in database will always appear as 'spamd'.

 Note that this exact method of invoking SpamAssassin is not very robust. Should spamc for some reason fail to start, Postfix will start bouncing mail. A more robust but also more I/O-intensive solution is the one proposed in the [http://www.postfix.org/FILTER_README.html FILTER_README file] that comes with the Postfix distribution.
 
 Only mail received by SMTP will be scanned with this method, i.e. mail injected with sendmail(1) will not be fed to SpamAssassin.
