I am trying to use spamassassin by running everything through

Sorru, I do not understand what procmail and spamassassin, intended to
process INCOMING mail, have to do with mailman which is SENDING OUT mail.
I still have a few almost-dead mailman lists on my machine, and I do use
procmail to filter my personal incoming mail. It is a long time we have
abandoned (been forced to abandon) spamassassin, but that was running on
the institute MX, not on my own machine.
As far as I remember (after a first trial) spamassassin was run as a
milter in sendmail.cf (the sendmail doc had s[pecial instructions).
Procmail instead is run (by me only on my own machine) via my own
~/.procmailrc (no need to pass through /etc/aliases or amy other system
file). That occurs definining it as default deliveryi agent for the local
mailer in sendmail.cf (see also sendmail doc).
My sendmail.cf has a section starting with
Mlocal, P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn09,
S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
A=procmail -a $h -d $u
The default aliases needed for the mailman lists are kept in a separate
alias file, and sendmail.cf concatenates it with the system one
O AliasFile=/etc/aliases,/etc/mail/mailman.aliases
(do NOT use the sendmail.cf lines I quote as they are ... go through the
proper sendmail configuration)
