Correct me if I'm wrong but spamd runs as the user which you specify
with the "-u" flag to spamd, when run without the "-c" flag for no
per-user configuration files. If "-c" is specified I believe the user
specified with "-u" is used for every user anyway.

I have this type of configuration, and use system wide settings for
whitelist, blacklist and global bayes db:

bayes_file_mode 0770
bayes_path /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes
