Adam: I use Sendmail-8.12.6 with spamassassin & my question of you is about
your spamassassin setup. I just installed SA + Spamass-Milter and they
seemed to be working fine, except for this I keep seeing in the maillog (I
posted this on the SpamassTalk list, but no response):

Dec 29 11:14:49 sage-american spamd[72550]: info: setuid to root succeeded 
Dec 29 11:14:49 sage-american spamd[72550]: Still running as root: user not
specified, not found, or set to root.  Fall back to nobody.

I load spamd from /usr/local/etc/rc.d also and it does NOT set the "root"
specifically as the user. If I added "-username root" switch to the spamd
startup, would the above messages stop...??? ...have you seen the above
message youself?
