I just installed SA + Spamass-Milter and they seemed to be working fine, except for this I keep seeing in the maillog (I posted this on the SpamassTalk list, but no response): Dec 29 11:14:49 sage-american spamd[72550]: info: setuid to root succeeded Dec 29 11:14:49 sage-american spamd[72550]: Still running as root: user not specified, not found, or set to root. Fall back to nobody. I load spamd from /usr/local/etc/rc.d also and it does NOT set the "root" specifically as the user. If I added "-username root" switch to the spamd startup, would the above messages stop...??? ...have you seen the above message youself? Best regards, Jack L.
