Assuming you're using sendmail as the MTA, here's a quick and dirty guide to getting it going. I don't have any postfix experience, so if you want to use that as your MTA, this may or may not help. 1. As root, run: perl -MCPAN -e 'install Mail::SpamAssassin' If you haven't run cpan before, it'll ask you a number of configuration questions. The default should be fine for most, if not all, of them. The only time you should need to give it any input is in choosing your cpan mirrors. For that question, pick a few servers that you think are close to you. Answer with a space separated list, i.e. "2 5 11 13". 2. Edit (using vi or other text editor) /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf, and add/change: report_header 1 use_terse_report 1 # if you want to keep HTML email intact, also set: defang_mime 0 3. In each user's .procmailrc file, add the following. You'll probably want it near the top of the file. The .procmailrc file exists in the user's home directory, so if it's not there, create one. :0fw | spamassassin If you're using spamc/spamd (recommended!), replace "spamassassin" in the 2nd line with "spamc" (no quotes, of course). If you want to place suspected spam into it's own folder, add this recipe below the one above: :0: * X-Spam-Status: Yes spam The word "spam" above is the name of the folder where you want the suspected spam placed.
