I didn't edit this, it appears to not include a domain or user account in the error, which would explain why the file is hard to open. I could just create the file and give it perms, but it seems like there must be a deeper problem here.

I've been searching google and these forums and found a few mentions, but nothing that I could actually do to fix it

Any ideas?

make the directory and/or make it writable by the user trying to write to it

[premierhosting]

OK, so I created a dir here: /var/qmail/mailnames/.spamassassin

We'll see if that fixes it.

[andersje]

did that fix it?

Are you using 4PSA's SpamGuardian by any chance?

[premierhosting]

I think it fixed it, as I haven't been seeing the message. However I just checked and the .spamassassin folder is missing, but a .spamtrain folder is now there.
