Where did you get that spamassassin RPM?
schaefer[502] rpm -qf /etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-spamc.rc
spamassassin-3.1.3-1.el4.rf
The contents of spamassassin-spamc.rc are very simple and have not
changed from the 3.0.6-1 RPM:
# send mail through spamassassin
:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamc
> I also dont have procmailrc under /etc.
That's normal, there is no default global procmail configuration. You
can just create that file.
However, if you are using the milter, then you should NOT run spamc
from procmail, so you don't need to make any changes to procmail
configuration in that case.

I've not used spamass-milter, so I don't know what is needed to
configure that. You will at least need to make sure the spamd process
is running if you are using the milter (chkconfig and service start as
I mentioned previously), and you probably need to restart sendmail.

Hi Bart
Thanks for the quick turnaround. I installed the latest spamassassin
version for RHEL4
[root@bdcworld kaushal]# rpm -qa | grep spam
spamass-milter-0.3.0-1.2.el4.rf
spamassassin-3.1.3-1
[root@bdcworld kaushal]#
As you said i could not see spamassassin-default.rc and spamassassin-spamc.rc
[root@bdcworld spamassassin]# pwd
/etc/mail/spamassassin
[root@bdcworld spamassassin]# ls
init.pre local.cf v310.pre v312.pre
[root@bdcworld spamassassin]#
How do I proceed ???
I also dont have procmailrc under /etc.
How do i proceed here
Thanks and Regards
Kaushal

There have been updates since then. Current is
spamassassin-3.0.6-1.el4 -- but note that I recently reported that
spamd in that package has a problem with whitelist_from_rcvd
directives "leaking" from one user to another. You might want to
install the 3.1.3 RPM from rpmforge.net
> box, How do i configure spamassassin and integrate it with Sendmail
First you need to run (as root)
chkconfig spamassassin on
service spamassassin start
The RedHat (and rpmforge) spamassassin packages supply some files
/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-default.rc
/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-spamc.rc
There's nothing especially magic about these, but the intention is
that users who want to pass their mail through SA can insert into
$HOME/.procmailrc a line such as
INCLUDERC=/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-spamc.rc
and not have to worry about the details.
If you as system administrator want to run spamc for all users, you'd
place that line in the /etc/procmailrc file. Just *before* that line,
you should also have the line
DROPPRIVS=yes
otherwise spamassassin will run as root rather than as the individual
user whose mail is being scanned.

The OP needs to clarify if he's using SA for a few accounts on his own
machine or operating an MX server fronting something else.
There are many paths....

Procmail also works nicely.

Be sure to read the document files that ship with it. You'll need to
modify sendmail.mc to enable the milter and make some decisions on what
you want to do with spam.
man spamass-milter is a good place to start, as well as
/usr/share/doc/spamass-milter-0.3.1/README
Please keep replies on the list. (It would be nice if they configured it
to work that way by default.)
