Brilliant! It works! Thank you so much Guenther (and others who have replied
off-list to help me with this).
If I can have your assistance with just one other thing however. I'm afraid I
really don't understand file-locking in Procmail (I have read the man and web
pages) but I'm still baffled.
Now that I have it matching on the appropriate spam I want to rewrite the
subject (in the same style as I have SA doing) and place it in the same spam
folder as SA does so that I have it present for my nightly cron sa-learn job.
This is what I have so far:
:0:
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
{
:0 fhw
* ^Subject:\/.*
| formail -i "Subject: [SPAM (XXX)] $MATCH"
}
:0:
* ^Subject:.*\[SPAM \(XXX\)\].*
IN-Spam
I could not find a way to combine the matching, subject rewriting and moving
into one step (is this possible?).
The above method works but give me the following error message in my Procmail
log:
procmail: Extraneous locallockfile ignored
From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jan 30 19:47:28 2008
Subject: [SPAM (XXX)] This is a test
Folder: IN-Spam
Help me fix this and I promise I'll be right back on-topic with all future
posts (honest!).

Oh it surely has!
