Procmail is designed to be run under a mail recipient's user each time a new message is delivered to them.
If you don't need this, you can do everything needed to reject spam within getmail's 'MDA_external' mail delivery script. To use it, define getmail's output in the [destination] section of the getmail configuration file with: type = MDA_external path = name of script arguments = set to the script named in 'path' allow_root_commands = true ignore_stderr = true My script is a pipeline that: - calls spamc to examine the message and add X-Spam headers - pipes the result into spamkiller, a locally written program that writes spam to a quarantine directory and calls sendmail to pass ham to Postfix for delivery spamkiller is a C program, but it could be written in any suitable language. It quarantines spam by writing it as a suitably named file in a quarantine directory. It delivers ham by calling sendmail with a suitable parameter set so that it passes the mail to Postfix. If you want to look at spamkiller or adapt it to suit yourself, its available here: http://www.libelle-systems.com/free/ (spamkiller 1.3.4) as source plus documentation. Note that it needs my environ library to compile. Source for that is in environ_srce-1.10.tgz and its documentation is in environ_docs-1.10.tgz or online, linked from the same page.
