This has been asked before and has gone unresponsive so far. I have familiarity with Sun One and I'm not sure I would reccommend integrating SA with it. About the only way I could think to do it would be to route all mail destined for the tcp_local channel through a custom pipe_spamassassin channel in the imta.cnf rules file. The pipe_spamassassin channel will be implemented via a unix pipe (like the postfix pipe transport). This is defined in job_controller.cnf. The pipe channel would pipe the message into a shell script that would then write it out to a temporary file. The script would then call spamc against the file, somehow dealing with the spaminess/haminess of the message. The final issue would be reinjecting the mail back into the normal processing stream (aka tcp_local or the ims channel). The impact on performance would be immense. I would reccommend investigating putting some proxy mtas in front of your Sun One mail system. Maybe a postfix + amavis-new + spamassassin + clamav combo. All the AV solutions for Sun One that I've seen use this pipe + shell script combo to integrate the scanner into Sun One. The Sun One mta has some nice features that makes its performace worth while. On the downside I feel this is drastically offsetted by its configuration complexity and it's lack of features in some areas. This causes me to stick with postfix in almost all scenarios. Especially considering what Sun One costs. Cheers, Jeremy
