By "root spamd" (a bad choice of words!), I meant the base spamd process. It |
| 7 |
is actually running as the user root. The two children are running as the |
| 8 |
spamd user I created. The reason I don't want to state it is security |
| 9 |
reasons, but it isn't spamd, and it is a dedicated user for spamd to run, |
| 10 |
which has its own home directory on the filesystem. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
So, below, we have the processes (user running as): |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
+ spamd (root) |
| 15 |
| |
| 16 |
- spamd (spamd-user-i-made) |
| 17 |
| |
| 18 |
- spamd (spamd-user-i-made) |
| 19 |
|

However, the errors seem to be indicating that the spamd running as user root, |
| 21 |
is the one getting the requests from exim. |

I'll compare my exim config to yours, obviously one line missed by me or |
| 24 |
goofed up by me could wreak havok. |
