I am hoping somebody can help me solve a problem I am having with
procmail and spamassassin (specifically spamd). When spamassassin has
marked a message as spam, it gets sorted to a Junk folder, but the
problem is that it is owned by root:mail when it should be owned by the
user. When this happens, dovecot will not serve the email to the user. I
sort other emails into folders with simple matching rules and those work
fine. Spamassassin is the only rule that is piped out to a program.
Here is the relevant portion my procmailrc file:
DROPPRIV=yes # Make this run as a normal user. If
you need
# root privileges for something, do
it before
# this line.
# Send mail through spamassassin
:0fw
| spamc -u $LOGNAME
# Now that we've tagged the spam, put in the appropriate folder
:0
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
.Junk/
I've tried taking the -u $LOGNAME portion out too and that doesn't work.
Following is a maillog sample.

As you can see, I've also got a problem with not being able to access
the bayes_journal. I've put it in it's own directory and made them owned
by nobody:staff and still nothing. Anyway, here is my local.cf file:
# These values can be overridden by editing
~/.spamassassin/user_prefs.cf
# (see spamassassin(1) for details)
# How many hits before a message is considered spam. The lower the
number, the
# more sensitive it is.

I'd be happy to send along any other information you need. Thanks for
help in advance.
