I use spamassassin with virtual users; in /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin I have:
SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -m5 -x --virtual-config-dir=/home/spamassassin/%u -H" 

I would very much like to have the user preferences/bayes files somewhere is
"system space" (/home/spamassassin isn't a real user home directory but has file
contexts as if it was). However, I couldn't figure out a suitable location to
put these files. I tried making a directory /var/spool/spamsassassin at first
but SELinux was much less happy there than where I have it now. So where
*should* I have this data to keep it in system space?
