I'll volunteer if nobody else particularly wants it. I'm not a current 
spamass-milter user but I intend to start using it soon, as my 
home-brewed spam filtering scheme using procmail is too much like hard 
work to maintain.

I've had a look at the package and made a few changes (see attached spec 
file):

- Use Extras standard buildroot
- Unpack tarball quietly
- Create account sa-milt and run the milter using that instead of root
- Fix socket name in README
- Initscript not %%config

By far the most significant is not running the milter as root.

Further comments welcomed.

Paul.
