Most Linux-distributions set the homedir for SA to /var/lib/spamassassin
and that is fine, but the guide assumes that the homedir is set to be in
/var/spool somewhere. The guide assumes more things that most
Linux-distributions have solved differently. Please consult the manual
for your operating system and one that has been updated in the last four
year. The guide is outdated on multiple levels.
