Exim simply passes the username to spamd, you can check this by running
spamd with -D (debug). This shouldn't happen, as spamd should setuid()
to the user the client tells it (according to the manpage).

I have no user-configs, so I run spamd with --username=spamd and
--nouser-config, which does the job here. Maybe this will help you.
