There have been updates since then.  Current is
spamassassin-3.0.6-1.el4 -- but note that I recently reported that
spamd in that package has a problem with whitelist_from_rcvd
directives leaking from one user to another.  You might want to
install the 3.1.3 RPM from rpmforge.net


box, How do i configure spamassassin and integrate it with Sendmail


First you need to run (as root)

chkconfig spamassassin on
service spamassassin start

The RedHat (and rpmforge) spamassassin packages supply some files

/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-default.rc
/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-spamc.rc

There's nothing especially magic about these, but the intention is
that users who want to pass their mail through SA can insert into
$HOME/.procmailrc a line such as

INCLUDERC=/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-spamc.rc

and not have to worry about the details.

If you as system administrator want to run spamc for all users, you'd
place that line in the /etc/procmailrc file.  Just *before* that line,
you should also have the line

DROPPRIVS=yes

otherwise spamassassin will run as root rather than as the individual
user whose mail is being scanned.

Hi Bart

Thanks for the quick turnaround. I installed the latest spamassassin
version for RHEL4

[EMAIL PROTECTED] kaushal]# rpm -qa | grep spam
spamass-milter-0.3.0-1.2.el4.rf
spamassassin-3.1.3-1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] kaushal]#

As you said i could not see spamassassin-default.rc and spamassassin-spamc.rc

[EMAIL PROTECTED] spamassassin]# pwd
/etc/mail/spamassassin
[EMAIL PROTECTED] spamassassin]# ls
init.pre  local.cf  v310.pre  v312.pre
[EMAIL PROTECTED] spamassassin]#

How do I proceed ???

I also dont have procmailrc under /etc.
How do i proceed here

Thanks and Regards

Kaushal

Where did you get that spamassassin RPM?

schaefer[502] rpm -qf /etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-spamc.rc
spamassassin-3.1.3-1.el4.rf

The contents of spamassassin-spamc.rc are very simple and have not
changed from the 3.0.6-1 RPM:

# send mail through spamassassin
:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamc



I also dont have procmailrc under /etc.


That's normal, there is no default global procmail configuration.  You
can just create that file.

However, if you are using the milter, then you should NOT run spamc
from procmail, so you don't need to make any changes to procmail
configuration in that case.


How do i proceed here


I've not used spamass-milter, so I don't know what is needed to
configure that.  You will at least need to make sure the spamd process
is running if you are using the milter (chkconfig and service start as
I mentioned previously), and you probably need to restart sendmail.

Be sure to read the document files that ship with it. You'll need to 
modify sendmail.mc to enable the milter and make some decisions on what 
you want to do with spam. 

man spamass-milter is a good place to start, as well as 
/usr/share/doc/spamass-milter-0.3.1/README


Please keep replies on the list. (It would be nice if they configured it 
to work that way by default.)

The OP needs to clarify if he's using SA for a few accounts on his own
machine or operating an MX server fronting something else.

There are many paths
