Set up a ~/.procmail file, with the following: # Scan with SpamAssasin :0 fw # This sets: "X-Spam-Status: Yes" # First setting only scans e-mails < 256k bytes * < 256000 | /usr/bin/spamc -f I happen to use postfix instead of sendmail, but I am doing the same thing, using fetchmail to get the e-mail from two ISP accounts. I filter them through SA (I also use clamassassin to filter via ClamAV) via procmail. This sets the proper header in the e-mails and I then use my mail app client to get the e-mails from /var/spool/UserName with a filter on the appropriate headers. I also have the following SA options set: SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -L -m2 -H" HTH, Marc Schwartz
