I'm not sure about this, since I call spamc from a filter in KMail, so it
runs under my UID. But it sounds like a FAQ. Exim can be configured every
way under the sun-- can you tell it to run a filter as the user who's
receiving the mail? e.g. call spamc -u $USER.

A note about this: I was training SA for a long time, with several hundred
ham and spam messages via a daily cron job, and it didn't seem to be
learning. So I looked around, and found a note at the top
of /usr/share/doc/spamassassin/README.Debian to the effect that on
upgrading to perl 5.8, you have to delete all of your Bayes databases and
recreate them using sa-learn. I did this, and presto, SA started to work
like a charm.
