-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, Casting about on the web, I gather this is an ownership/permissions issue. That'd be fine and I might know what to do about it if I knew where spamd was trying to create it and, for that matter, under what user. But I don't even know where the configuration is (assuming there is one). It looks to me like it is running as root: munich# ps aux | grep spam root 4221 0.2 2.6 168548 80532 ? S 15:16 0:20 spamd child root 15711 0.0 2.2 156172 68244 ? S 05:20 0:03 spamd child root 17327 0.0 0.0 14340 1100 pts/1 S+ 18:07 0:00 grep spam root 18855 0.0 1.8 145704 58072 ? Ss Apr03 0:22 /usr/bin/vendor_perl/spamd -d --pidfile /var/run/spamd.pid -c But otherwise, the systemd service file and the /etc/conf.d/spamd file aren't telling me much. The normally excellent Arch Wiki that I'm still learning to remember to look at doesn't seem to have an entry for spamassassin. Any ideas?
