Hi

    I have installed the spamassassin 2.41 in my local
server. My intention is to upgrade it to 2.55. 
So after installing the spamassassin then i am running
the procmailrc [which i kept under /etc directory ] ,
i have started *spamd* , the Option at spamd startup
script i kept as follows:

 OPTIONS="-d -c -a "

While sending mail from one user to another locally, i
am seeing the error in the log file as follows:

_______________________________________________
Aug  6 00:07:29 datta spamd[31302]: Still running as
root: user not specified, not found, or set to root. 
Fall back to nobody.

Aug  6 00:07:34 datta spamd[31302]: clean message

Now i set the optins at spamd as follows:

 OPTIONS="-d -c -a -u mail"

The messages in the log file is as follows:

Problem is no .spamassasin file is being created at
the user level. And spam hits are showing. Moreover i
have mentioned in the /etc/mail/spamassassin file one
user_prefs and there i globally set the
*auto-whitelist file as follows:
___________________________________________________
auto_whitelist_path    
/var/spool/spamassassin/auto-whitelist
suto_whitelist_file_mode        0666
___________________________________________________

No auto-whitelist file is being created anywhere...

Where i am making mistake can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance.
