Hi! I'm currently using spamassassin to filter mail coming into my lists. I use sendmail with procmail as the local delivery agent. However, since mail sent to a program is not delivered by the local delivery agent I needed to use a mail alias like this to have the processing done:
list: "|/usr/local/bin/spamc -f | /home/mailman/mail/wrapper post list" In addition to the above, I added "X-Spam-Status: Yes" to the "hold posts with header matching" field. This works fine and so far zero spam has made it onto my mailing lists. Unfortunately, however, I am now trapping up to 15 messages per day per list. I have to manually remove each piece of detritus via the administrative interface. So, I thought I'd set some of my list aliases to send mail to the mailman user which would be locally delivered and sent to the mailman .procmailrc which could read the headers and make the appropriate mailman wrapper call. This would have the mail pass through the system-wide /etc/procmailrc file which traps the crud without any human intervention. Unfortunately, however, I can't get this to work. First, procmail complains because the mailman directory is group writable. I was not sure whether changing this would cause a problem for mailman so I changed it in a test install and continued. Now I have a problem that the ID of the mail delivery agent doesn't match the id of mailman so the wrapper won't run. If I recompile mailman to use the id of mailman for mail instead of the system-wide mail delivery agent I think I'll have problems. Does anyone care to comment on this? Is there an easier way? Am I missing something obvious? Comments and suggestions appreciated! reb ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
