I would like to install Spam Assassin. But I read it has to be installed with procmail to filter mails and procmail had to be installed on the mail server.
Definitely doesn't have to be installed with Procmail. Neither does SpamAssassin as such have to be installed on the mail server.
As for me , the incomming mails are going first on a server in DMZ , through an anti virus before being send to the mail server, in the LAN.
So my question is: how can I install SA?
It depends. How high are you in the mailadmin hierarchy at your site?
> Will it work if I put it in DMZ,
with procmail??
Procmail has nothing to do with SA, as such. It's an add-on for users and mailadmins who need it - it does other things, too. But you could use Courier's maildrop instead, to do what Procmail does. My setups using SpamAssassin don't need either of them at all - on Exim 4.20 and Postfix 2.0.12 MTAs.
> Will Procmail work in DMZ, and not on the mail server?
Procmail has nothing to do with SpamAssassin. It is an add-on that can use the results of SA, if you want it to. It can be used on Unix/Linux workstations, the mailserver, whatever.
Why don't you just read the available documentation and FAQ at www.spamassassin.org?
