I use postfix as my MTA. I also use spamassassin for spam filtering and
have been using procmail to pipe messages through it. In order to do
that I have the following ~/.forward
"|exec /usr/bin/procmail"
and the following ~/.procmailrc
INCLUDERC=/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-spamc.rc
However, I have just discovered the following line in
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
#mailbox_command = /some/where/procmail
If I uncomment that line and change it to
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail
then I assume that I can remove my ~/.forward. Is that correct? If so,
then I wonder if someone could tell me the following things:
A. Will invoking procmail directly from within postfix give me
*exactly* the same behaviour as I have at present by invoking it
with ~/.forward?
B. Is there any difference in efficiency, or any other reason you
can think of to prefer one way to the other?
C. If procmail is called from within postfix's main.cf will it
still spawn spamc running as me? This is important because I use
the Bayesian filtering in spamassassin and all my Bayesian data
is in ~/.spamassassin.
TIA.
Best, Darren
