Yes, I thought that was the idea. However I realize now that is not what is happening (or that is not what is supposed to happen). According to the docs I must use the -P switch. Why? Because I'm not a unix system and my mailboxes don't conform so I can not let SA deliver the message to the mailbox.
Since I must use the -P, am I correct to think that the file I'm passing needs to be replaced by SA? For example: File A is passed to spamassassin using this "spamassassin -P < A > B" now when its finished I'll have B. Replace A with B and let the system carry on. Is this the ONLY way to have SA work with the -P switch?
