[PLUG] Postfix SPAM filtering?

[Rob Hudson]

To reply to my own problem, I figured out that the spamassassin binary
was trying to create a directory "/.spamassassin".  Maybe this
happened b/c I added the user with no home directory.

I found the above out by su-ing to the user, and executing the shell
script.  I ended changing line 151 of spamassassin (v 2.20) and adding
the line (configuration option):     
  'dont_copy_prefs' => 1,

Now things are looking good.
