Postfix does not use procmail by default. You can add the line
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail
to /etc/postfix/main.cf to invoke procmail for mail delivery.
Running 'rpm -qi spamassassin' gives you all you need to get spamassassin
working with procmail, i.e. add the line:
INCLUDERC=/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-default.rc
to /etc/procmailrc.
The only problem with taking this route is that a separate procmail process
will be spawned for each email that requires delivery. That's probably not
totally ideal, (and then again I could be talking out my....)
So for the shameless plug here, are some instructions I pieced together for
installing amavisd-new to tie together AV and SPAM scanning with your mail
delivery using postfix. I did it on Fedora Core 1 so I know that it will
work if you apply yourself :) If you don't have McAfee for Linux just use
ClamAV. http://www.montleon.com/mcafee+amavis+postfix+spamassassin.html for
installing postfix, spamassassin, and amavisd-new all together. Honestly I
found the tag at 3.0 and quarantine at 6.5 (or whatever) that are the
defaults for amavis WAY to lax. I tag at 2.9 and quarantine at 3.0... that
blocks almost everything and I don't get false positives, but maybe I'm just
lucky; obviously tweak to your preference in /etc/amavisd.conf
Hope one of these solutions helps,
Jason
