i do something similar to what you're trying, namely, fetchmail off of
several accounts, and then spamassassinate it before delivering it to my
final clean mailbox.
so, it's fetchmail --> procmail --> mbox
I don't let fetchmail deliver via smtp to the localhost, i use procmail
directly as the mail delivery agent.
here's my recipe:
in my fetchmailrc after everything else, i have this line:
mda 'formail -s /usr/bin/procmail -m /home/me/.procmailrc'
...this splits the input into individual messages, and runs them through my
procmail ruleset.
then, in my .procmailrc i have:
:0fw
| /usr/local/bin/spamc -t45 -s 90000
(these options might differ for you... if you're not using spamd/spamc ,
you could just pipe directly to /usr/local/bin/spamassassin )
later on in my .procmailrc, i have:
:0 ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
/home/me/mail/spam
:0
* ^From:
{
:0 c
! [EMAIL PROTECTED]
:0
/home/me/mail/local-copy-of-cleanmailbox
}
so, procmail runs it through spamassassin, then puts spam in the spambox,
forwards a copy of what's left to the pop-mailbox that i check for real,
and keeps a copy in my local mbox.
hope this helps...
