SpamAssassin works quite well with courier. You can either use it by
itself during delivery with maildrop or use it as a courierfilter via
amavisd-new.
The simplest method is to use SpamAssassin to scan the messages during
final delivery. Keep in mind that this method only scans emails that
are being delivered locally.
Set up Maildrop as your delivery agent.
Create a file '/etc/courier/maildroprc'
(location may change based on your installation)
/etc/courier/maildroprc:
xfilter spamassassin
Alternately, you can use the daemonized version. Start up spamd and
put this in your maildroprc:
xfilter spamc
If you want to use it as a courierfilter to reject spam as it gets to
the server, you will need amavisd-new. That setup is a bit more
complex and you'll need to go through the docs. Keep in mind, that
amavisd-new/spamassassin cannot modify the email when being used as a
courierfilter. So no headers and no subject markers, just accept or
reject. If you want to mark spam, you'll need to do it through
maildrop.
