There isn't anything I see I could do about this. But you can: Add "auto_whitelist_file_mode 0666" to your SpamAssassin configuration (see "perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AWL" for details). This solution isn't very safe, but I recommend using MySQL or PostgreSQL for storing AWL and Bayes data anyway (see /usr/share/doc/spamassassin/sql for details). I'm adding an appropriate hint to README.Debian in future releases. Regards, Sven PS: Closing the bug as there isn't anything I could do in spampd automatically but the problem doesn't surface with the proper configuration.
