You read the procmailex and procmailrc man pages. Then you install
something that does what you want. I do not have such a script so
I cannot help you. If you scan back in archives for this list you
will find several diversions based on the X-Spam-Level: *********
header. Some others were based on the spam score from the subject
header *****SPAM***** 032.7 ** Powerhouse Investment... It ends up
looking something like:
# If it is guaranteed spam divert to /dev/null. Be aware that life
# issues no guarantees.
:0:
* <replace with your "guaranteed spam" header criterion>
/dev/null
# If it might be spam but you're not sure divert to a spam folder and
# review it periodically.
:0:
* <replace with your "maybe spam" header criterion>

Since I am sure your needs are different from mine I cannot help
you any further. At some point you need to learn something and do
it for yourself. Otherwise there is too much potential to make a
mistake that does not meet your particular needs.
Be aware that SpamAssassin does misfire. So if you set the threshold
score for discarding mail too low you are risking losing a very
important email that got mismarked. If you set it too high you run
the risk of accepting way too much spam into your spam folder to
satisfy yourself.
Basically, sir, it is time to break down and read that f<ed> manual.

I am using procmail with spamassassin for sendmail
MTA. Where I can get the procmail scripts for the mail
diversion? Or Is it a better choice to user milter and
mimedefang integrated with spamassassin for spam
handling and diversion.

How are you running SpamAssassin? If you are calling
it from procmail
then there are innumerable scripts floating around
for doing the
bad message diversion. (If you are doing it on mail
just before it
is fetched by your mail reader, say OutlookExpress,
then "No way"
comes to mind. It becomes a setup issue in
OutlookExpress. Check
out filters and the "delete it from server" option.)
There are so many ways to deal with it that I'm
rather astonished
you have never run across any such descriptions.
They float throughout
the wiki. And someone of modest imagination could
figure out the
OutlookExpress rule to deal with spam. (That is
where I do almost all
of my spam diversion and spam handling.)
