[snip]i do something similar to what you're trying, namely, fetchmail off of several accounts, and then spamassassinate it before delivering it to my final clean mailbox.
so, it's fetchmail --> procmail --> mbox
Yep, already doing something similar to that. Here's the recipe I'm using. I also have one of these in each user directory. That's the part that's just baffling the heck out of me. IT works for the main user megos, but not for any accounts that are forwarded. I also have procmail setup as the MTA (not sendmail directly) and all works fine. But only if mail is delivered locally. That's the part that's driving me nuts. If it gets forwarded, I don't get any spam filtering.
# SpamAssassin sample procmailrc # # Pipe the mail through spamassassin (replace 'spamassassin' with 'spamc' # if you use the spamc/spamd combination) # # The condition line ensures that only messages smaller than 250 kB # (250 * 1024 = 256000 bytes) are processed by SpamAssassin. Most spam # isn't bigger than a few k and working with big messages can bring # SpamAssassin to its knees. # # The lock file ensures that only 1 spamassassin invocation happens # at 1 time, to keep the load down. # :0fw: spamassassin.lock * < 800000 | /usr/local/bin/spamc
# Mails with a score of 15 or higher are almost certainly spam (with 0.05% # false positives according to rules/STATISTICS.txt). Let's put them in a # different mbox. (This one is optional.) :0: * ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* mail/spam
