Same here! Couldn't do without daemonized spamd and spamc connecting
to it via Procmail.

Why _on earth_ do you want to run SA with -d switch in this kind of
situation?
-d, --remove-markup Remove spam reports from a message
What it is exactly you want SpamAssassin to do to the mail when you
press 'S'?

This isn't a solution to your question, but I felt like showing how
I'm handling spam that gets through my filters. Here we go:
I press 'S' on a spam, which adds the From-header to this file formail
goes through everytime mail comes in, and if the address can be found
from this file, the mail gets /dev/nulled. It also adds a
"blacklist_from foo@bar" entry in ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs. And then
it moves the mail to spam folder.
Here's the macro:
macro pager S |~/.mutt/addspam.sh<enter>s="spam\n"
And the 'addspam.sh' looks like this:
[...]
#!/bin/sh
#
# $Id: addspam.sh,v 1.5 2002/08/11 07:48:09 ekhowl Exp $
SPAMASSASSINFILE="/home/ekhowl/.spamassassin/user_prefs"
SPAMMERSFILE="/home/ekhowl/.procmail/spammers"
for x in `awk '{if ( $1 == "From:") { for (x = 1 ; x <= NF ;
x++) { if ($x ~ /[^ ]*@[^ ]*/) { gsub("<|>", "", $x) ; print $x } }
}}'`
do
echo $x >> $SPAMMERSFILE
echo "blacklist_from $x" >> $SPAMASSASSINFILE
done
[...]
I'm not taking any responsibility for the ugliness of this script. ;-)
I also apologize for making this mail this long. Anyway, this is how
I handle every spam that SA or my other feeble filters doesn't catch.
Not too much trouble and "enough automation", IMO. Works for me.
