Hi,

I could be wrong but I think you need a delivery program like maildrop or
safecat to complete the delivery.

Something like

| /usr/bin/spamc -f | safecat ./Maildir/tmp ./Maildir/new

Are you using vpopmail or vmailmgr?  If so I have scripts for both of those.

Regards,

Rick

I should clarify. I DON'T want it delivered to /var/spool... sorry - a
typo on my part.

There are no clear instructions on what files I need to edit to get it
to work as a filter.

Let me elaborate... my .qmail file once contained only the following:

> ./Maildir/

Indicating that mail for me was to be delivered to the specified
directory.

If I edit my .qmail file (synonymous with .forward really) to contain
only:

> |spamassassin -P

Then spamassassin picks up the mail, but then delivers to mail to
/var/spool/mail/foo and not to my ./Maildir/.

Ok, so if I change my .qmail file to be:

> |spamassassin -P
> ./Maildir/

I would expect for spamassassin to filter the mail, and then deliver it
to ./Maildir/, but no. spamassassin still tries to deliver the mail to
/var/spool/mail/foo.

What am I doing wrong? I don't want SA doing any delivery, but I can't
seem to tell it not to (even with the -P flag!).
