I could not get spamd worked with option -c

Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy.

I use spamassassin3.2.5, vpopmail, on qmail.

 

I run spamd as following;

 

root  7165  0.0  1.6 92168 67936  ??  Ss    8:37PM   0:01.88 /usr/local/bin/spamd -d -L -m 10 -s /var/log/spamd.log -c -v -u vpopmail -g vchkpw -r /var/run/spamd/spamd.pid

 

But when any email comes to my mail server I get an error in spamd.log.

There is a user_prefs file in /var/qmail/vpopmail

 

ls -l /var/qmail/vpopmail/.spamassassin/

How do I correct that issue ?

You need to figure out why spamd cannot create this file and fix it.

That is NOT where SA is looking for the user_prefs file; look at the logs you
pasted above.

Do you have READ the LOG?

"spamd" is expercting the "user_prefs" at

    /var/qmail/vpopmail/domains/test.com/user1/.spamassassin/user_prefs

and not at

    /var/qmail/vpopmail/user_prefs

your script, which try to create the directory

    /var/qmail/vpopmail/domains/test.com/user1/.spamassassin

is missing the "-p" option for mkdir
