spamc doesn't know anything about getting called as a sendmail "milter" plugin- assuming you get the syntax correct in the sendmail configuration, and get spamd running to provide the socket required, you'll just end up with error messages in your mail log. The simplest way to get SA running with sendmail is to call spamassassin or spamc from your global /etc/procmailrc, or from individual ~/.procmailrc files, as per the examples in the SA documentation. In most cases this is the best way to call SA with *any* MTA, as it allows clean and simple per-user SA configurations. If you don't want to bother with per-user preferences, SA can be called from a number of milter programs in various ways; I'd recommend MIMEDefang (http://www.mimedefang.org) if you are willing to do a little Perl hacking to get things working *exactly* as you want. I haven't used amavis; but many people on this list seem to be happy with it and I think it's a little easier to set up than MIMEDefang. A number of people are also using spamass-milter; which is a sendmail milter designed to handle the sole task of calling SpamAssassin. My own brief experience with it was pretty bad; YMMV. -kgd -- "Sendmail administration is not black magic.
