Spamassassin Proxy - Help need.

[Phil Ellett <sy...@technimode.com>]

I have been using Spamassassin for years via Sendmail / Procmail / Spamd for
scanning incoming mail directly into mailboxes without problems.

I now however for one client wish to receive email via Sendmail, scan it
with spamassassin and then forward it via smtp to another server.

Does anyone have an idea on how I can modify my procmail settings for this
user in order to implement this.

Clearly I need to pass the message to Spamassassin to be scanned and then
receive the output back into the procmail script and then forward it with a
simple "!new@mail.address.com" line ...

Redhat 9.0
Spamassassin 3.0.0

Thanks in advance.

Phil.

Why are you using procmail for this? Just have sendmail pass the message
out to spamd via a milter, then send it on via SMTP. There are several
suitable milter modules, or you could use mimedefang. Personally, I use
the one from http://www.runestig.com/osp.html, but there's also one
available at http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/spamass-milt/.

HTH,

Mike.

Another route would be to use a milter to scan the mail and then forward 
the message via aliases/virtualusertable/procmail.
