I'm not sure how you've got things set up. Do you have a
/usr/local/etc/procmailrc file? Does it have SA scan all mail? Do you
also have a delivery option in that file (e.g., all mail previously
scanned as spam should go in a particular location, etc)?

Sorry - I started this email with one problem, and finished it with another - centralized spam filtering/logging is working now

Ah. Maybe in the passwd file (/etc/master.passwd) you can make
llimanspam's UID the same as lliman's UID; this way lliman will have
the right permissions to write to that file.

I'll try that and see if it works - good idea. I guess permissions can be used for both good AND evil :)

The other option is to have the client use an imap client and just
drop the spam in their home directory. Imap clients can be taught to
look in the home directory for additional mailboxes.

Hmm, that's an idea, but too much work in this case to instruct the user, if I can avoid it.
