I'm having trouble getting Sendmail to understand I want it to talk to SpamassMilter. In poking around looking for an answer, I got to thinking that Procmail is already filtering the way I want. How do I have Procmail forward this filtered email to another box in the same domain?
This section sends mail to a folder: :0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes $HOME/mail/caughtspam Can $HOME/mail/caughtspam be changed to: forwardto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Dropping * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes of course. What's the correct syntax for: forwardto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks Bob Larry Price ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > > there is a milter to call spamassassin > > On Monday, March 8, 2004, at 07:44 AM, Bob Crandell wrote: > > > It's amazing how great minds think alike.
