I have dcc_path /usr/local/bin/dccproc in my
/etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf file.

Do you have more than this?  That is the only setting that I have
available besides "# use_dcc"

Probably a question that is going against the design of services:
Example
Mailwatch does a spamassassin lint check under the apache user
(correct?).  Which means that it gives different results or errors that
if it is ran with the "correct" user, such as root.  This could be
misleading because I might think that my spamassassin has problems and
it really doesn't.

So the question is, should the best practice be to have everything that
is installed to do with MailScanner use the same user?

DCC - here the problem being:
Mailwatch was using map file = /var/dcc/map
DCC or cdcc was using map file = /root/dir/map
This made the mailwatch spamassassin lint test return errors because
there was no map file in /var/dcc/.

To fix this I just copied the map file(s) from /root/dir/ to /var/dcc/

Mailscanner - under root I am guessing?  My newb skills would have to
research how to find this out.

Mailwatch (guess that would be httpd, apache)

Pyzor (if that has a home directory to do with a user)

Things like that.
