replace the value of antispam_pipe_program with a script:

======
#/bin/bash

(
set -x
id -a
date
/usr/bin/sa-learn "$@"
rc=$?
echo rc=$rc
exit $rc
) >/tmp/antispam.$$.log 2>&1
====

Then check on the command line, what happens if you invoke the command 
line as the user displayed by the id command.
