I've changed the way that this is done now; you can easily set SOCKET in /etc/default/spamass-milter, and I've added an RUNAS option there as well, which you can use to change the user that spamass-milter is running as. Can you check the debs on http://archimedes.ucr.edu/ss/spamass-milter_0.3.1-3_i386.deb to make sure that they resolve the issues for postfix users? Don Armstrong -- Certainly the game is rigged.
