Spamd user_prefs Permission denied

Postby linger » Fri Mar 03, 2006 5:24 pm

Just did an install of Spamassassin on my FC4 and Scalix 10 CE. Spamassassin is running and posting header info in every email, but when I view the log, I see the below errors with every email.

Mar 3 13:16:31 mail spamd[22857]: Creating default_prefs [/var/run/spamass-milter/.spamassassin/user_prefs]
Mar 3 13:16:31 mail spamd[22857]: Cannot write to /var/run/spamass-milter/.spamassassin/user_prefs: Permission denied
Mar 3 13:16:31 mail spamd[22857]: Couldn't create readable default_prefs for [/var/run/spamass-milter/.spamassassin/user_prefs]

I was hung-up thinking it was an issue, but I am beginning to think it isn't. Can I get some feedback on this, please?

Thanks!

What are the permissions on /var/run/spamass-milter/.spamassassin/user_prefs? It looks like you are getting Permission denied trying to write to that file.

Has nobody else ran into this problem on FC4? I have follow all directions for installing both Scalix and Spamassassin, and this is what I get. Those files were not even there, and even once I created them and chmod 777'd them, it still gives me the same error messages. Don't get me wrong... it still seems to be working as far as marking spam, but I really would like to take advantage of white and grey listing, which I believe I need these user_prefs setup for.

Thanks for any other assistance. The previous links to Spamassassins site gave me no insite to what permissions are needed on those folders and files.
