Re: Spamassassin fallback to process owner.
[In reply to]

Hello Matt,
turns out that the script supplied by the
designers of the whole mess is, well,
suboptimal. I kicked it entirely and used
a single command line to run a per-recipient
checking.
Just for info: whenever spamc can't find
the $recipient or is lacking a '-u', it
falls back to the process owner. If there
are no userprefs defined for that recipient,
the $GLOBAL settings are applied.
Thanks for the input!
Best regards,
sven03
Mit freundlichen Gruessen
