So at it's simplest level, only those users who wish to be filtered have a .forward file at all.

I have modified procmail to check for .spamcheck in the user's home dir. If this file is found, spamc is called. Seems to work so far.
I would still rather use a managable file that lists users.
Would anyone out there know how to make procmail check a list for a username?

Currently I have spamassassin running globally via spamd with procmail.
Is it possible to specify which users can use spamassassin, and which cannot? I wish to change from spamd to calling spamassassin per user.
Using spamassassin instead of spamc/spamd will incur a substantial performance hit.
You could probably do something with procmail and $LOGNAME where you pass mail through spamc if $LOGNAME is in a list of allowed spamassassin users. I doubt that running spamassassin vs spamc/spamd is going to solve this problem.
I would really like to allow a certain group to use spamassassin, and have spamassassin not see the other email addresses.
Are there certain users you don't trust to use SpamAssassin or are there accounts that you don't want to filter (e.g. role accounts)? If it's the latter, consider using the all_spam_to directives in your global config file. From 'perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf':
---- whitelist_to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If the given address appears as a recipient in the message headers (Resent-To, To, Cc, obvious envelope recipient, etc.) the mail will be whitelisted. Useful if you're deploying SpamAssassin system-wide, and don't want some users to have their mail filtered. Same format as "whitelist_from".
There are three levels of To-whitelisting, "whitelist_to", "more_spam_to" and "all_spam_to". Users in the first level may still get some spammish mails blocked, but users in "all_spam_to" should never get mail blocked.
more_spam_to [EMAIL PROTECTED] See above.
all_spam_to [EMAIL PROTECTED] See above. ----
