I recommend you change your setup to a more flexible and less fragile interaction between Sendmail, SpamAssassin, Procmail and Fetchmail: Use MimeDefang to integrate SpamAssassin. MimeDefang is a milter application and thus integrates to Sendmail just like you integrated Clamav. A very good howto is to be found on: http://www.rudolphtire.com/mimedefang-howto/ Keep in mind, that some steps in the setup are not necessary, like compilation of Sendmail from source, as Sendmail on Fedora already has all what's needed to run a milter application. Using Mimedefang you save to use Procmail to call up the SpamAssassin, although you still can use Procmail for filtering by looking at the mail header tags. But you also could use any other tool like Sieve in combination with Cyrus-Imapd. Your Fetchmail setup is not interfered with a possible change to MimeDefang milter usage. > Any and all help is appreciated and thanked for in advance. > > Phil Alexander -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | GPG key 1024D/ED695653 1999-07-13 Fedora GNU/Linux Core 1 (Yarrow) on Athlon CPU kernel 2.4.22-1.2149.nptl Sirendipity 14:05:26 up 16:48, 7 users, 1.33, 1.19, 1.07 [ ÎÎÏÎÎ Ï'ÎÏÏÎÎ - gnothi seauton ]
