Okay .. I’ve done a little more digging and I think I may understand what I’ve been doing wrong. Do I put the –u –x flags into the spamass-milter or directly to spamd or directly to spamassassin?
I tried putting the flags into spamd directly and it didn’t work either. The most helpful thing would be if someone could post their copy of the spamass-milter.sh or spamd.sh scripts so I can see a proper example.
Thanks.

I've been pestering Dan on this a little bit, but more sources are
always more helpful and I don’t really want to bother him if not
necessary. I’m having a heck of a time getting this to work. I updated
the milter from the source and now, when I add the -u -x, I don't get errors in
the maillog (before I got "unsafe" errors and the milter wouldn't
run) and the milter is running on each email. The problem is that it runs as
root no matter what I do. I've tried putting the -x -u in every conceivable
place that makes sense according to instructions, documentation and google
results, but it doesn't want to work. It either tells me "still running as
root ... can't create ..." or it just assumes root and doesn't give any
errors at all. I never see the "setuid" or similar log line that I've
seen in google results, just the "still running ..." or
"cleaning for root", nothing that says anything about uid, user or
the like. I want to have it identify the user by full email address (virtmap)
and use their own user_prefs file, or default to "generalspam" with it's
own user_prefs. Any and all help is appreciated. Samples of the code would be
most appreciated as that's the one thing I haven't seen on many google results.

Original Post to Tech Support was:
I have the milter installed and it's scanning everything
like it's supposed to. It's scanning everything as root though. I want it to
use individual users uers_prefs files and most (all but one or two) users are
virtmapped users. Very few users are on the actual main domain. Most accounts
are on virtual hosted domains. I have been trying to implement the -u flag with
no success whatsoever. I've also seen comments about virtualusertable support
added to the current version. I have no clue on that. It's a fresh installed
milter 0.2.x and I would appreciate any help as to what I need to modify and
how to get this working.

Many thanks in advance.

Reply from Dan:
Until I release a new version, the easiest way to get the virtuser/alias expansion code is to check out a copy of the source from CVS (http://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=spamass-milt), run ./autogen.sh, then make. You can then copy the resulting binary and manpage over the old ones. Leave the existing port in place so you can reuse its startup script (and so you can use portupgrade when a new version is released).
