By default it tags the subject line of the message as *****SPAM******

When you setup your .procmailrc file you can set it up to do whatever you
want with the message that is detected as spam. You could do nothing and it
would just come into your inbox with the message tagged.

Your could add this below and it would be then moved to a folder called
spam. Assuming you have imap access or access your email via pine or the
likes. If you use POP3 then you probably do not want to do this as you wont
have access to the folder.
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
spam

Or you may decide if it is tagged as spam to just delete the message.
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
/dev/null

The default config looks for razor every time it processes a message. If it
is not there it just continues on. Now that you have added that feature it
is probably getting executed. It is easy to test and see. Are you running
spamc or calling spamassassin from your .procmailrc ?

If you are calling spamc then stop spamd if it is currently running and from
a command prompt type
spamd -c -D and then send a message to yourself. You should then see it look
at razor.

The other option is to feed spamassassin some spam from the command prompt
like this
spamassassin -t < sample-spam.txt

Should display on the screen everything it did.

As for adding lines in procmailrc you do not need to add anything for razor
to work. It is built into spamassassin to call it if it is installed.

Hope that helps

Jim
