Hi,
The spamoracle documentation mentions procmail as the only mail delivery
agent usable with spamoracle. However, of course spamoracle works fine
with other MDA's, like maildrop. I believe it will even work with
qmail's .qmail files, or courier's .courier files.
In the debian/control file,
This program is designed to work in conjunction with procmail.
could be replaced with
This program is designed to work in conjunction with your mail delivery
agent, like e.g. procmail.
In the spamoracle(1) manpage,
This machine must have procmail(1) (see http://www.procmail.org/)
installed. Your ~/.forward file must be set up to run all incoming
e‐mail through procmail(1).
could be replaced with
This machine must have a mail delivery agent installed which is
capable of pre-filtering messages through external commands.
Procmail(1) (see http://www.procmail.org/) and maildrop(1)
(see http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/) are such MDA's.
Typically, your ~/.forward file takes care of running all incoming
e‐mail through your filtering MDA.
The ~/.procmailrc example
To process automatically your incoming e‐mail through SpamOracle and
act upon the results of the analysis, just insert the following
"recipes" in the file ~/.procmailrc:
:0fw
| /usr/local/bin/spamoracle mark
:0
* ^X‐Spam: yes;
spambox
could be replaced with
To process automatically your incoming e‐mail through SpamOracle and
act upon the results of the analysis, just call spamoracle from
your MDA's filter definition file. For procmail, this means inserting
:0fw
| /usr/local/bin/spamoracle mark
:0
* ^X‐Spam: yes;
spambox
in the file ~/.procmailrc.
For maildrop, this means inserting
xfilter "spamoracle mark"
if (/^X-Spam: yes;/)
{
to spambox
}
in the file ~/.mailfilter.
Thanks, Bye,
Joost

Upstream answer it is developed only for procmail. If it works with
anything else that is left to the user. As spamoracle is no longer
actively developed, documentation will not be changed.
