Can't find $HOME.

[Jim]

I'm invoking bogofilter thru a bash script.

I set an env variable of QMAILQUEUE in my /var/qmail/supervise/smtpd/run
file; I'm using tcpserver.  (I did have it in my tcp.smtp file like the
documents say; either way it still works.)

QMAILQUEUE="/usr/local/bin/qfilters.sh"
export QMAILQUEUE

The env QMAILQUEUE variable calls a bash script with qmail-qfilter invoking
the bogofilter command.

It is in that file (qfilters.sh above) that I put the path of where I have
the bogofilter binaries.

HOME="/usr/local/bin"
export HOME

I didn't make a 'home' directory for bogo like a user, I just put installed
it in /usr/local/bin.

After I put those two lines in, the problem went away.  I didn't have to do
that before with 0.8.0.
