Question - I just installed SpamAssassin 3.1.0 on an IBM AIX 5.3 ML3
platform. I am trying to filter mail. I would like to have mail flagged as
non-spam and mail flagged as spam to be placed in separate folders for review
before they are discarded or sent to a user's mail folder. Since we are not
using procmail, what options do I have to accomplish this using AIX's
sendmail?
Other than enabling procmail as your MDA? very few. This *might* be
possible in sendmail.cf, as sendmail.cf is very powerful, but it's going to
be VERY ugly if it is.
The majority of the examples I have seen relate to procmail usage. Should
I modify
the sendmail.cf file to accomplish this task? If so, would the entries be
similar to
the examples shown for procmail.
No, you definitely can't do that with the same syntax. Sendmail's .cf
syntax is VERY different from procmail's. I'd strongly advise against
trying to do this directly in sendmail. There's a reason everyone does this
with procmail. This task is what procmail is made to do.
You can modify your sendmail.cf to use procmail as your MDA instead of
sendmail's built-in. You'll still use sendmail as a SMTP MTA, but rather
than doing delivery to a mailbox itself, sendmail will call procmail to
perform the mailbox delivery.
Personaly, I never edit my sendmail.cf directly, I use sendmail.mc and m4
to generate my config. If you do you can use the local_procmail feature to
turn on procmail.

Any help is appreciated. I couldn't find any
info on the SpamAssassin site or via a google.
