Hello folks ^^)
I've installed the latest spamassassin version on a new Debian 11 server
and configured it to work with Postfix, amavis-new, and clamav.
spamassassin got a user named 'spamd' and is run under it.
sa-update is set on a cron job to automate the update but that fails :(
each day I get that report from cron :
/etc/cron.daily/spamassassin:
mkdir /var/lib/spamassassin/3.004006: Permission denied at /usr/bin/sa-update line 488.
sa-update failed for unknown reasons.
First, I've thinked that it was a permissions problem for 'spamd' user to access the '/var/lib/spamassassin' directory, so I've
'chown -r spamd:spamd /var/lib/spamassassin'
but even with permissions set to 775 on that directory the update still fail with the same message.
I just can't set permissions to 777 on that kind of directory (I'm not mad), so what is the real problem with sa-update not working under spamassassin's own user when on a cron job on debian 11 ?
Thanks,
Jeff
