Well, I thought I had everything working just wonderfully ... all that nasty spam was being dropped into the bit
bucket as I wanted. However, now I don't seem to be passing things through procmail such that they get dumped.
I am really puzzled -- I believe this may have started when I upgraded spamassassin to v.2.6.3. Currently, I am using
ClamAV, Spamassassin 2.63, procmail and milter-sender and milter-spamc. Here are some of the pertinent details:
You forgot to mention MailScanner.
However, if nothing else, ditch milter-spamc immediately.
You need to make sure you call spamassassin ONCE per message. You're currently calling it at least twice. Once from milter-spamc AND once again by calling spamc in procmailrc. If MailScanner is using SpamAssassin, then you've got it called three times!
Ouch! That hurts in performance. To add insult to injury, re-scanning the messages might reduce your hit rate, as I explain below.
If milter-spamc sees the message as spam and you don't have "report_safe 0" set, it's going to encapsulate the spam in a new message with new headers and tag the subject.
Later when procmail passes the encapsulated message to spamc, it no longer looks like spam because of the new headers. None of the original Received: headers will be scanned for RBLs, as those are in the encapsulated message. Thus, to the second call to spamc, this message originated at localhost, instead of evilserver.spammer.com.
Poof. X-Spam-Status gets over-written with No.
That's probably your problem.
