There have been updates since then. Current is spamassassin-3.0.6-1.el4 -- but note that I recently reported that spamd in that package has a problem with whitelist_from_rcvd directives "leaking" from one user to another. You might want to install the 3.1.3 RPM from rpmforge.net
box, How do i configure spamassassin and integrate it with Sendmail
First you need to run (as root) chkconfig spamassassin on service spamassassin start The RedHat (and rpmforge) spamassassin packages supply some files /etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-default.rc /etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-spamc.rc There's nothing especially magic about these, but the intention is that users who want to pass their mail through SA can insert into $HOME/.procmailrc a line such as INCLUDERC=/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-spamc.rc and not have to worry about the details. If you as system administrator want to run spamc for all users, you'd place that line in the /etc/procmailrc file. Just *before* that line, you should also have the line DROPPRIVS=yes otherwise spamassassin will run as root rather than as the individual user whose mail is being scanned.
