Brian, in the WebUI folder add to the “admins” file the administrator user, login and you will see “Administrative Suite” link (at least in DSPAM 3.6.8).

@Mauricio - how exactly do you as an admin use the web interface as another user? Perhaps I haven’t explored this as on my system users administer their own spam. I suppose so long as %CURRENT_USER% works either way then it is more robust!

Sorry I left $ENV be mistake, you should use these:

$CONFIG{’DSPAM_ARGS’} = “–deliver=innocent –mode=tum –class=innocent –feature=whitelist,noise,chained –source=error –user %CURRENT_USER% –stdout | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject %CURRENT_USER%”;

DSPAM_ARGS

There is a problem using the proposed configuration. If as an Administrator you want to deliver a false positive of a user –let’s say xx@bla.com (other than the administrator), using {’REMOTE_USER’} you will be injecting the email as the Administrator and not as the user xx@bla.com.

Checking the source dspam took this into consideration changing in $CONFIG{’DSPAM_ARGS’} the string %CURRENT_USER% to the user the Administrator is working with.

You should use these:
$CONFIG{’DSPAM_ARGS’} = “–deliver=innocent –mode=tum –class=innocent –feature=whitelist,noise,chained –source=error –user %CURRENT_USER% –stdout | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject $ENV%CURRENT_USER%”;

When you say it doesn’t work, what happens? You can do the find / command without the -exec bit so it will list all files owned by uid 89.

What I suspect may be the issue is your startup script is still trying to start with uid 89 and now you have changed the user id from 89 to ‘vpopmail’ which is a different uid (in the example above, 589)

find / -uid 89 -exec chown vpopmail {} ;

find: missing argument to `-exec’
