package: spamassassin
version: 3.1.7

Helllo,

if not changed by hand, spamd will be running as root in default installation.
This can be changed by editing  /etc/default/spamassassin by hand.
Change:
OPTIONS="--create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir"
to: 
OPTIONS="--create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir -u Debian-exim -g 
Debian-exim"
If using exim.
Imho this default is risky since spamd handels untrusted data and 
MTA-User-privileges ought to be sufficient in many common cases ...

Keep smiling
