what I did was edit the local.cf so it contained this: required_hits 8 rewrite_subject 1 report_header 1 use_terse_report 1 defang_mime 0 report_safe 0 use_bayes 1 auto_learn 1 ok_locales en rewrite_header Subject [SPAM] -------------- and I edited the procmailrc file so it contained this: ORGMAIL=$HOME/mbox DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL DROPPRIVS=yes :0fw * < 500000 | /usr/bin/spamc --------------------- if I've done the right thing then next I want sendmail to reject the spam mails in the same way the dnsbl lists do. I think I'm getting somewhere because my mail log has started showing entries like this: Jan 14 06:00:14 home spamd[17440]: spamd: connection from....
