This is OT to your question, but still: are you certain that you want to drop all mail that gets marked by SpamAssassin? It works very well, but I still get a few false positives per month. If any of my clients were outside of my immediate friends/family group (i.e., paying customers), then I would explicitly take no action on their incoming email other than to mark it, and give the clients instructions on setting up a filter on their email client.

Sendmail, Spam Assassin, and Procmail
Greetings, I can't seem to get the procmailrc correct. What I would like to do, is have all mail that Spam Assassin tags as spam, to be put into a separate account called 'bulkmail'. I've created this account, and made sure that the mailbox 'bulkmail' exists in '/var/mail'. Spam Assassin is tagging the e-mail properly, however, it's still being sent out to the clients. Below is my 'procmailrc' file. If someone can suggest a better one that works, please do! :) PROCMAILRC START :0fw | spamassassin -P :0: * X-Spam-Flag: YES | sendmail bulkmail PROCMAILRC END Regards, Justin P.
