Re: Problem with Spamassassin since upgrade (permissions)
Hi Bob
Thanks for your reply.
I really thought no one will ever answer me here :)
spamassassin 3.3.2-5+deb7u1
amavisd-new 1:2.7.1-2
lsb_release -rd
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 7.5 (wheezy)
Release: 7.5
I changed my permissions with chown -R debian-spamd:debian-spamd
/var/lib... so this should be fixed, thanks.
When i run the command as root i get:
root@xxx:/etc/cron.d# test -e /usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob &&
/usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob sa-sync
Please run this cronjob as user amavis
When i run the command as user amavis i get the same, old, error message:
$ test -e /usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob &&
/usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob sa-sync

I really appreciate your help.
Kind regards
