Good morning, Gilbert.
Postfix, itself, does not interface with SpamAssassin, directly.
As noted, you can run amavisd, which will detect and use SpamAssassin in
its checks, but it's actually much simpler than that.
All you need to do is
- Edit the /etc/procmailrc file to include this:
:0 fw
| spamc
:0 e
{
EXITCODE=$?
}
which will push each mail delivery through SpamAssassin
- Then, in each user's .procmailrc, set up something like this:
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
/path/to/spam/folder
Which will cause procmail to a spam folder.
Alternately, you could use /dev/null, which would dump everything marked
as spam to the bitbucket, but it's not recommended, as SA does, sometimes,
mark false positives. Until you've built up a large, solid corpus of spam
in your users' bayesian databases, for SA to compare against, it's
probably better to drop the suspected spam into a folder.
