So your imap binaries are running as the real users? Oh. Do you use the
dspam client/server setup?

I think I'm still on 3.6.something, latest debian/testing packages.

Right. Ok, good to see that confirmed :)

Ah, it would allow that, but I'm not sure that's desirable. I'd have to
look into the dspam docs more as to when you want to use that etc.

Hmm. How did that mail end up in SPAM when it doesn't have a signature?
I only move mail into SPAM that was classified by dspam as SPAM so hence
also has a signature.

I don't know if it works there either :) I'll try the patch on my system
and if it doesn't break anything I'll roll it in. Don't hold your breath
though, it'll probably take me a week or two.

I didn't compile dspam myself (debian) and my configuration is pretty
straight forward, each user runs dspam and no client/server model is
used.
