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.
PPS: 395255 (multi recipient LMTP) is pending upload.
