When spamc is invoked from Postfix's master.cf file (as described at http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/IntegratedSpamdInPostfix) and SELinux is enabled, Spamassassin can't create user_prefs file in /home/someuser, even if "someuser" was created on purpose. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spamassassin-3.0.4-2.fc4 selinux-policy-targeted-1.27.1-2.22 postfix-2.2.2-2 (stock Fedora Core 4 + updates March 06, 2006) How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Invoke Spamassassin as a filter, from Postfix, as described in http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/IntegratedSpamdInPostfix, with SELinux enabled. Postfix users should be virtual users. Actual results: The process can't write user_prefs under /home/someuser. Expected results: A predefined system user should be created when installing Spamassassin (by the rpm), with an appropiate, FHS-compliant homedirectory, in order to provide a place to create user_prefs, when Postfix users are virtual users and SELinux is enabled. Spamassassin docs should indicate the correct way to proceed/configure in such cases.
