 I'm a happy Mailman 2.0.11 user, and until now I have used SpamAssassin 2.20
 to filter out spam in my personal mailbox. I applied the SpamAssassin.py
 patch for Mailman, but I have a problem. I use demime to avoid HTML mail to
 reach my lists. My setup: Postfix takes care of the incoming mail and sends
 it to demime. Demime removes the unwanted MIME and HTML stuff and send the
 mail to Mailman. The SpamAssassin patch scans the demimed message and sends
 it to the list. 
 
 I have two problems:
 1. No messages are discarded or put on hold, even if it scores over 10 (The
 message is tagged as spam)
 2. Demime removes a lot of stuff that SpamAssassin scores on. It's harder
 for SpamAssassin to do it's job.
 
 Is it possible to solve this? I don't have any programming skills myself:-(

David,

I wonder if anyone can answer the same question --
how to filter out spam with SpamAssassin --
but with mmdf rather than sendmail?

 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.

2 options

If you use exim, you can run my SA in exim at SMTP time code:
http://marc.merlins.org/linux/exim/sa.html
This will let you reject or save mail before it even hits mailman

There is also a patch for mailman which lets mailman run SA and discard or
hold messages flagged as spam, look in the patch manager on sf.net or in
this list's archives
