spamd using a bayes and auto-whitelist commun to anybody

[Daniel Madaoui <da...@logilune.com>]

It's better with a subject :(

I want to use SA for a lot of users which don't have home directory.  
There mails are in /var/mail. The spammed mails are send to the  
recipient  in his file /var/mail/user with the addition  of SA.

The bayes and auto-whitelist database will be commun to anybody.

I use spamassassin  3.0.3 under freebsd 4.8

I use postfix and  SA through procmail.

postfix  main.cf:

	mailbox_command = /usr/local/bin/procmail -t

I 've got the config file for procmail in /usr/local/etc/procmailrc

	PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
	LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log

	:0fw: $LOGNAME.lock
	*  < 256000
	| /usr/local/bin/spamc

I launch spamd in this way:

	/usr/local/bin/spamd -d -m10

and when I send a mail  I 've got this log:

Apr 13 19:39:37 host spamd[48968]: spamd: setuid to root succeeded

The mail was in the mailbox but the bayes was not used.

So I restart the spamd daemon whith this options

/usr/local/bin/spamd -d -m10  -u spamassassin ( spamassassin in an  
user with its directory /home/spamassassin/.spamassassin )

He try to use the .spamassassin directory who belong to root (/ 
root/.spamssassin/ )

how can I configure spamd to use another directory for using bayes  
and auto-whitelist database ( in /home/spamassassin/.spamassassin ).  
It works if I change the permissions of /root/.spamassassin but it's  
not optimal.

Thanks for your help.
