You don't mention your OS or distribution, so it's hard to provide specifics. The way I run it on RedHat/Fedora/CentOS is to run spamd and call spamc from each user's .procmailrc like this: ======== 8< ------------- PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail # LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from LOGFILE=/dev/null # Put any rules to bypass SA here, e.g. :0: * ^List-Id: <users\.spamassassin\.apache\.org> /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME :0fw | spamc # Any spam with 9 or more * will be summarily punted. :0 H * ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* /dev/null # Uncomment this to divert remaining spam to a spam bucket. # Else it goes to your mailbox. # :0: # * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes # $HOME/Mail/caughtspam ======== 8< ------------- > another question > who recieves the mail from the clients as first time?? is it spamc or > spamd?? Not sure I understand, but I think the answer is spamc, which feeds it to spamd. Then spamd filters it and returns it with the desired spam markup. > then how does it cycle to get to the recipient client?? After it comes back from spamc, what happens depends on the following procmail "recipes". You can divert it, delete it (to /dev/null), or send it on to the recipient.
