Re: [cobalt-developers] Raq4: Installing SpamAssassin

[Herb Rubin <herbr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I invoke Spam Assasin thru the procmail mechanism.

I noticed that procmail requires certain permissions on each users home
directory. Namely no group write ability.

But, when you change your password thru the admin web interface it adds
group write permissions, which is a no-no for procmail to work. I had to
write a cronjob to remove group write that runs every night. Just in
case someone changed their password during the day. I found this out by
reading the /var/log/messages or what is /var/log/maillog. I can't
remember.
