[cobalt-users] RaQ4: SpamAssassin sort of working

["Tim Skipper" <mailinglists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've succesfully installed the latest version of SpamAssassin, and hooked it
up to /etc/procmailrc.  It is catching and marking SPAM nicely, but only for
mail that is stored on the server.

The majority of my users have their mail forwarded to some other external
e-mail address, which is configured via the user settings in the GUI.  I
would like this mail to be processed by SpamAssassin as well, but I don't
know how to set it up.

I have tried removing the forward info from the gui front end and creating a
.forward file instead - that doesn't help.

I have tried creating a .procmailrc file in a users home directory to call
SpamAssassin, but that doesn't seem to be executed (at least it's not
creating the log file I've told it too).  I spent a couple of hours in the
archives last night trying all the different permission suggestions, but to
no avail.

Here's the .procmailrc I'm using:

SHELL=/bin/sh
PMDIR=$HOME
LOGFILE=$HOME/procmaillog
LOGABSTRACT=ALL
VERBOSE=ON
DROPPRIVS=yes

:0fw: spamassassin.lock
* < 256000
| /usr/bin/spamassassin

.procmail has permissions of -rw------- and is owned by username.sitenumber

I'd appreciate some help here, it's probably something obvious I'm missing
through lack of experience.
