[NTLUG:Discuss] Procmail

[Richard Humphrey]

I am trying to set up some spam filtering with SpamAssassin being called
from procmail. Spamassassin is working fine tagging the email, but there
is a problem in that procmail fails to move the mail to the correct
place. It appears that procmail is running as a user and not root.
Shouldnt procmail run as root? I run top to see when procmail is
invoked, and when it runs, it is being invoked by the user that is
recieving the mail. Is this normal behavior? I am having all kinds of
failure issues with procmail not writing to /var/log/procmail.log etc
because it isnt running as root.
