  = Integrating SpamAssassin into Postfix using spamd =
+ 
+ = This should never be used =
+ 
+ This causes [[VBounceRuleset|backscatter]] so it should no longer be used.  Look in the examples folder included with SpamAssassin for better options, like procmail.
  
  The easiest way to integrate postfix and spamassassin is to use spamd in an [[http://www.postfix.org/FILTER_README.html|after-queue]] inspection. This configuration does not allow rejecting messages within the SMTP transaction, so it unfortunately contributes to backscatter email. On the other hand, it has important performance advantages over [[http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_PROXY_README.html|before-queue]] inspection.
