Hi Pairote,
I got you to install your server wide spam assassin on my server, and it works great, but when I tail -f /var/log/maillog, I get the error message:

Oct 13 02:26:27 server3 spamd[2415]: mkdir /root/.spamassassin: Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Mail/SpamAssassin.pm line

Its obviously a permission problem. Can you tell me how to fix it?

Thanks
Ivan

That error comes from the checksrvd that try to check spamd whether it is running. The errors pop up since SA v3.10. Nothing to worry about it. You may report it to cPanel bugzilla.

Thanks Pairote,
No problem then, I just thought something wasn't working right.

cheers
