I use the Junkfilter. I have narrowed my Recipes to get current information as well. I would be glad to share it with you. Let me know if you are interested in it.

Re: [expert] Procmail spam filter recipes?
I just picked up junkfilter but cannot build it. I placed it in /usr/local/etc/junkfilter and set the path to point to this as well as my procmailrc file. I do a make create in the junkfilter directory and all I get is: [praedor@lapdog junkfilter]$ make create Makefile:49: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop. Nothing comes of it.

Re: [expert] Procmail spam filter recipes?
It is my Understanding that you need to set the
PMDIR = {directory of Procmail Storage info} - i.e. /var/Procmail
JFDIR = {directory of Junkfilter Binaries} - i.e. /var/Procmail/junkfilter
You can set these variables in the .bashrc scripts, or in a NEW Script called
/etc/profile.d/common.sh - which will get executed on each login.
I also place the original jf command (subsequent versions have been converted to
use the Make create command), in the /usr/bin directory with a link to the
actual application.
Hope that helps.

Re: [expert] Procmail spam filter recipes?
Hmpf.
I have/had procmail working on my system. I have a directory: $HOME/.procmail
which contains a link to $HOME/.procmailrc. I read the somewhat confusing
directions in the README with junkfilter and elected to install the
junkfilter files in /usr/local/etc/junkfilter. I created a symlink in my
.procmail directory to the junkfilter directory, ie, ln -s
/usr/local/etc/junkfilter $HOME/.procmail/junkfilter. I created a directory
in .procmail called lists which are for my user-specific lists. I set
JFDIR=$PMDIR/junkfilter and JFUSERDIR=$PMDIR/lists in my .procmailrc and
in my .bash_profile. I was then able to build/make the filters (make create
and make all) which filled my .procmail/lists directory with a load of empty
user files. The jf binary is executable and resides in the junkfilter
directory plus I followed your example and made a symlink to it in /usr/bin.
I added INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/junkfilter to my .procmailrc. I've been watching the
procmail log in my .procmail dir and see whenever a new message is handled
by procmail. It just isn't doing anything. I have set my mailer to display
ALL headers and I have sent myself fake SPAM messages using keywords and
combinations included in the junkfilter filters (Please read and the like).
Nothing I've done leads to any message having any header information altered
or added to indicated that junkfilter looked it over and passed a judgement.
None of the fake spams have received any X-IS-SPAM additions and neither has
any of the real junk I have stored and resent to myself.
There are no error messages and the procmail log indicates everything is
OK...but it isn't.

Re: [expert] Procmail spam filter recipes?
Here's my .procmailrc from my ~aewhale Directory. One Caveat, I am using 2.4
currently, and I have configure my environment to use the Procmail utility per
individual user. Do you specify the procmail delivery agent in your Sendmail.mc
(m4 Macro configuration file) or sendmail.cf file? You will need the entries:
/etc/mail/ABS.mc:define(`PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/bin/procmail')
/etc/mail/ABS.mc:FEATURE(`local_procmail')
/etc/mail/ABS.mc:MAILER(procmail)
in order to create the entries:
/etc/mail/ABS.cf:# $Id: local_procmail.m4,v 8.21 1999/11/18 05:06:23 ca Exp
$ #
/etc/mail/ABS.cf:# $Id: local_procmail.m4,v 8.21 1999/11/18 05:06:23 ca Exp
$ #
/etc/mail/ABS.cf:# $Id: procmail.m4,v 8.20 1999/10/18 04:57:54 gshapiro Exp
$ #
/etc/mail/ABS.cf:Mprocmail, P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=DFMSPhnu9,
S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP/HdrFromSMTP,
/etc/mail/ABS.cf: A=procmail -Y -m $h $f $u
/etc/mail/ABS.cf:Mlocal,P=/usr/bin/procmail,
F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
/etc/mail/ABS.cf: A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u
Don't forget, my ABS should be your sendmail filename.

I am also TRYING to use junkfilter - if it works then the headers of junkmail should obtain a new spam identifier, thanks to junkfilter, indicating it detected it. Which ever one seems to do the best job wins. Basically, if bogofilter puts something in my spam folder, it wont have an X header alteration. If junkfilter detects spam, it will add a new spam X header. Now I just need to wait for spam... praedor -- Conservatives of all times are adventitious liars. - Friedrich Nietzsche.
