Which user do you use to run spamassassin to check if email is spam?

Hi Matt,

ps aux | grep spam comes up with these results

root 15171 0.0 1.7 16348 8684 ? S Feb03
2:27 /usr/local/bin/spamd -d -c
qmailq 648 0.0 0.1 2028 904 ? S 20:44 0:00 sh
-c /usr/local/bin/spamc -f
< /var/spool/qmailscan/working/new/server1077738278455642
qmailq 649 0.0 0.1 1916 588 ? S 20:44
0:00 /usr/local/bin/spamc -f
qmailq 650 0.3 2.2 16652 11588 ? S 20:44
0:00 /usr/local/bin/spamd -d -c

So is qmailq or root the appropriate user to run sa-learn as?

Bye and thanks,
Werner.

qmailq ...

spamd, when run as root, will setuid itself to the uid of the spamc caller
before scanning mail.. This is what you can see above.
