    I logged my procmail and found some issues:

    Code:
    Aug 12 00:32:44.860 [15485] warn: auto-whitelist: open of auto-whitelist file failed: locker: safe_lock: cannot create tmp lockfile /var/www/web90/user/someuser/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock.somedomail.tld.15485 for /var/www/web90/user/someuser/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock: Permission denied
    Aug 12 00:32:44.869 [15485] warn: plugin: eval failed: bayes: (in learn) locker: safe_lock: cannot create tmp lockfile /var/www/web90/user/someuser/.spamassassin/bayes.lock.somedomail.tld.15485 for /var/www/web90/user/someuser/.spamassassin/bayes.lock: Permission denied
    Please explain the solution to me!

    What's the output of
    Code:
    ls -la /var/www/web90/user/someuser/.spamassassin/
    ?

    Code:
    root@hera:~# ls -la /var/www/web62/user/nutri-anna-marie/.spamassassin/
    total 11248
    drwx------ 2 root root     4096 2010-05-01 21:06 .
    drwxr-xr-x 5 root root     4096 2010-05-01 21:06 ..
    -rw------- 1 root root   335872 2010-05-01 21:06 auto-whitelist

    -rw------- 1 root root 10510336 2010-05-01 21:06 bayes_toks
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       48 2010-05-01 21:06 user_prefs -> /var/www/web62/user/nutri-anna-marie/.user_prefs
    OFC that is one sample I have a couple of them exactly like this,
    Looks like some process / daemon is NOT running in the correct user, I cant imagine how all the directories changed if the problem was directory security!:eek:

    Maybe you have reconfigured your system to use spamd instaed of the default spamsacan setup of ispconfig? Or you restored the files from a backup? With spamscan, these files are all owned by the system user that owns the email account, but your files are owned by root, so they must have been written by some kind of daemon or they had been copied from another instal without preserving permissions.

    yes

    Yes probably the backup-restore , Will have to work on those, I will write a bash script to fix permissions,

    As before I have pleaded the case for clamd, (BTW changing it back did not change the issue at hand) BUT Please make it an installation option to switch to clamd, as clamd uses almost NO resources whereas clamscan does lock-up cpu to 100%, especailly on slow internet connections witch we have all over the world except US and Europe! Places like South Africa and other have those issues where the ISP's all cache traffic via transparent proxy and no one can do anything about it.
    :cool:
