I am using Sendmail, spamass-milterm spamassassin

I have my spam redirected to a SPAM folder. Sometimes real email gets caught and I go thru it before I delete them. Something to think about.

I can't remember how I did it exactly. Let me check and get back to you...unless someone beats me to it.

I would appreciate it if you try to remember how you achieved that. I suspect that is sould play with spamass-milter and its options, although i haven't found anything relevant, only the -b switch.

I don't understand why you need to use the sendmail+spamass-milter combo. It is so easy to just use procmail in conjunction with sendmail.

The server doesn't support the procamail.

What? Sendmail, as configured by SuSE, has always supported procmail out of the box. If it doesn't, it is because you have done something. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Running rpm -q procmail it recognizes that the procmail is installed.

However, i cannot find in /etc/ called procmailrc.

You're right. You have to create the file. There have been samples of the file shown here on this list. man procmailrc man procmail man procmailex -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

So? That's normal: you have to create it. Procmail does nothing till there is a configuration file... There can be a global file, "/etc/procmailrc", the users files, "/home/ user/.procmailrc" (one per user), or none. That's up to you. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

I have installed the SpamAssassin. How to get the Sendmail to call spamassassin on every incoming mail?

Please, could you instruct me for a while because i am not as experienced as you.

I already explained that in another thread to you (Re: "Procmail + Maildir").

I have put some script in /etc/procmailrc but it doesn't seem to work.

It is procmail who calls spamassassin. What error are you getting? (look at /var/log/mail) What do you have in that file (/etc/procmailrc)? Are you sure it is not working? Look at the headers inside the email.

Should i start procmail as services, or it acompanies it with Sendmail?

No, yo don't need to do anything for procmail. You only need to start service spamd. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

There I go again. Talking before I realize what the hell I'm talking about. I use Smartsieve to do my mail direct. I use the spam line in my emails header to identify email then have it forwarded to my spam folder. Sorry to get your hopes up.

What email program are you using? Evolution, Kmail, etc.. There should be a way to have specified emails to go to a certain folder.

Sorry again.

I use Pine, don't you use spamass-milter?

I don't know what a milter is. I use Evolution and everyone else uses Outlook. I have mine setup so that it forwards emails with specific header topics to a folder. I don't *think* SA can do that.

I also use Pine, and I have no idea what "spamass-milter" is. I use spamassassin and procmail: the first one detects spam, the second moves them to a specific folder; but I could forward it anywhere if I wanted. The same setup works as well with kmail, mozilla, balsa... with no change. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
