If you are using Exim, then the user specified in the "Run As User"
configuration option in mailscanner.conf must have a home directory, as
that is where SpamAssassin wants to store its "user_prefs" file by default.

In the latest version (or possibly the one I haven't released yet :-) you
can specify exactly where SpamAssassin should look for its preferences file.
