It originally was set up with Procmail, but because of migration problems from an old server we had to switch it to Sendmail. Eh? Sendmail isn't a replacement for procmail. Sendmail is a MTA (mail transfer agent) that handles network transfers of mail. Procmail is a MDA (mail delivery agent) that handles putting the mail into mailboxes on the local machine. Most people that use procmail use sendmail as their MTA. Er, my bad. POSTFIX is what the server was originally set up with, not Procmail. I got those names confused. =/ Sorry. Anyway, Spamassassin was pre-installed. I just started the service running, but none of our mail is being tagged with a X-Spam header. Ok.. you need to do more than that.. you need to modify your some part of your mail chain to feed messages to SA. As it is, SA is available on your system, and has the spamd deamon running and ready to be fed mail, but nobody is feeding it. So you have two basic options: 1) tell sendmail to use procmail as a MDA, and add a spamc call to your procmail config. 2) add a milter to sendmail like spamass-milter or mimedefang, and have those funnel mail into spamassassin at the MTA level. OK, I'll see if it's already using Procmail since I now realize the difference, and try the first option. Otherwise, based on your suggestion, I found: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/IntegratedInMta and that looks like it has all the info I'll need. Thanks for the clue-by-four! -Liam
