You can enable procmail on a per-user basis by proper .forward files in their home directories. Yeah, I've heard.

Re: procmail and anti-spam
Take a look at spamprobe in /usr/ports/mail/spamprobe. It uses Bayesian analysis and catches about 99% of the spam I get (and I get a *ton*). Also see http://sourceforge.net/projects/spamprobe/ for more information. Everybody who reacted I say thank you! I'm gonna try a few filter programs to see what does the job best. Beginning with spamassassin (of maybe spamoracle or spamprobe). In all cases I have to adjust the local mailer statement in my sendmail. It runs the way it came out-of-the-box (fbsd-4.7R) Local mail is *not* delivered by procmail by default. I think I have to put the following lines into sendmail.mc define(`PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/bin/procmail') FEATURE(local_procmail,`',`procmail -t -Y -a $h -d $u') MAILER(procmail)dnl Am I right about this or do I put them in submit.mc? If procmail runs w/ sendmail any integration with anti-spam will be an easy job w/ all these fine advices I got ;-)) -- dick -- http://www.nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.7 ++ Debian GNU/Linux (Woody) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Spamprobe doesn't require any changes to sendmail, you only need to
tweak your .procmailrc.
