postfix substitutes sendmail with it's own version, that should be OK
(if the system was switched to postfix properly, that is
/usr/sbin/sendmail will be a symlink to /etc/alternatives/mta which will
link to /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix)

But, A Ve, fyi, there's an easier way if you use procmail for local
delivery than to patch main.cf. Add the following to /etc/procmailrc:

:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamc

Then, start spamd. Finally, run spamc manually to test the setup:

$ cat mail.txt | spamc > checkedmail.txt

and check the headers of checkedmail.txt
