Spamassasin running as root!

[lyd mc]

Thnx chuck.
 
I use ports to install p5-Mail-SpamAssassin, and I have also spamd user. I will try Brian config.

What do you have in /etc/rc.conf, I have
spamd_enable="YES"
spamd_flags="-u spamd -H /var/spool/spamd"

In my case, the spamd user got created automagically.

You should have had a spamd user & group created automatically from / 
usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin/pkg-install.  If you aren't using  
ports, well, you should start doing so.
