spampd should add a spampd user and group, $HOME should likely be /var/lib/spampd and shell /bin/false. cf debian's config: http://packages.debian.org/testing/mail/spampd
it also needs openrc fixes, but it might be enough to resolve this bug here, current initrc does not work with default spampd run as mail, on shutdown "cant unlink spampd.pid" but spampd still works with 3.3.2 spamassassin, needs testing with 3.4.x when its out in portage
(In reply to Benny Pedersen from comment #1) > it also needs openrc fixes, but it might be enough to resolve this bug here, > current initrc does not work with default spampd run as mail, on shutdown > "cant unlink spampd.pid" this is an easy fix, create /etc/tmpfiles.d/spampd.conf with one line as follows -------------------------------- d /run/spampd 755 mail mail -------------------------------- and adjust /etc/conf.d/spampd as SPAMPD_OPTS="[...] --pid /run/spampd/spampd.pid" albeit, this should probably be done by the ebuild
