There's a *slightly* more elegant fix when using qmail as the mta, maybe
with others as well:
==================================================
:0
* ! BYPASS ?? ^[yY][Ee][sS]$
* ! ^X-Spam-Checker-Version:
* < 1234567890
{
MAILHOST=`/bin/hostname`
:0fw :$HOME/spamc.lock.$MAILHOST
| /usr/local/bin/spamc -x -d spamdhost.domain.tld -H -t 60
:0e
*
`/usr/bin/kill -TERM $$`
:0
* ! THRESHOLD ?? ^[0-9]+$
{
THRESHOLD="7"
}
:0
* ^X-Spam-MyScore: \/.+
* $ ? /usr/bin/test "$THRESHOLD" -le "$MATCH"
$FILTERED
}
==================================================
The "e" in the recipe following the spamc exec catches any non-zero
exit/error codes from the last exec and kills the current procmail with a
TERM signal which causes qmail to put the email back at the bottom of the
local queue again...
