Yes, you do need Mail::Spamassasin perl libraries installed, but you do not need spamd. Spamd is the daemon, procmail rules hit the spamassassin script itself.. not spamd or spamc, at least from what I have seen... (we don't use procmail here and let end users select ham/spam/whitelist via openwebmail).
:0fw: spamassassin.lock | /user/bin/spamassassin :0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes caughtspam (Straight fom the wiki) I don't know.. maybe you would get better performance using spamc/spamd in a sitewide install using procmail verses /user/bin/spamassassin (probably would, but then you woudl need to have spamd running), but I think youd get even greater performance using mimedefang... esp if you are already using it anyway. Also, though I have not tested this as we have not had a need.. I believe spamassassin will still look for a user_pref file in each users home dir and append that config to the ones it finds in /etc/mail/spamassassin/*.cf whether run from mimedefang or seperately... I know it picks up configs in /etc/mail/spamassassin/*.cf when run from mimedefang.
