Folder redirection

[Mark Harwood <ma...@markharwood.com>]

Apologies if I missed this rather simple question in the FAQ's, but I 
really did look.

I'm on fedora core 3, using spamassassin 3.0.3 with spamc/spamd.  All 
seems to be working fine (probably as designed).  The headers are 
getting rewritten just fine.  What I want to do is STOP the spam from 
being written to separate folders (e.g. probably-spam, etc.) and let it 
continue to be written to the regular mail folder (i.e. 
/usr/spool/mail/user.

Don't see how I do that.  Help appreciated.

Loren, Greg,

Thanks.  The problem was that I had set up a single-user config prior to 
the system-wide config.  Greg, my system-wide config looks almost 
exactly as you described.  Loren, your comment about procmail doing the 
move reminded me that the single-user set up included a .procmailrc in 
$HOME.  That file, of course, had the redirection in it.  I'm set.

Thanks again,
Mark

Good reason for you to miss it, it isn't there.

SA doesn't route messages, it only filters them.  Something else looks at
the filtering and decides what to do with the message.

As someone else suggested this may be procmail on your system.  Depending on
exactly what all you are using for mail, it could be also be one of several
other things, too.  You may have to look around in your mail system to find
where the routing is really occuring.

Mark,

Take a look at your /etc/procmailrc file which probably controls where
your spam is being routed.  This is the entry in my procmailrc file that
controls the spam to our system.  

If had the entry below all you would need to do is to remove or comment
out all lines after "# This routine.....".

Take a look at this file on your system, if you can not find any entry
related to spamassassin there, then you are using a different method of
routing.


DROPPRIVS=YES

:0fw
 * < 256000
 | spamc

 # This routine will dump your spam
 :0 H
 * ^Subject:.*\[SPAM\]
 $MAILDIRLOG/spam.log


Good Luck!!
