+
+ACCT_USER_ID=337
+ACCT_USER_GROUPS=( "${PN}" )
+# The spamd daemon runs as this user. Use a real home directory so
+# that it can hold SA configuration.
+#
+# Since spamd's home contains user-modifiable config files, it's
+# a violation of the Linux FHS for it to be here, but it's been
+# decided it can't be in /home/.
