Ok, I may show my own stupidity here, but I'll give this a shot. Sendmail is and MTA not a MDA. As far as I know, the MDA has to call spamassassin (or spamd). This is where I may be wrong, or maybe this is just the case with sendmail?
I use procmail as my MDA. I chose it because of added flexibility. IF you implement procmail as your MDA for sendmail, then there is a script for it in the spamassain docs. procmail delivers local email. So as a gateway this was a little tricky to setup. each email is an alias to a procmail script on my system. It calls SA then forwards to internal server. I believe I had read of another way of setting this up. I figured the Sendmail Gateway -> exchange server would have been a popular choice. But when I researched it, howto's and docs were in short supply. hth, --Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Ceva [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 9:21 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Matt Kettler > Subject: [SAtalk] SpamAssassin and SendMail > > > Thanks for all your help until now.
