If you installed from the port, it probably ended up in /usr/local/bin/, not in /usr/bin... If procmail can't process a rule because a pipeline command is not where you tell it, it does the right thing and returns the message to be processed by the next rule, rather than spitting its dummy and sending it to the bit bucket. > :0 > * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes > spambox > > =-=-=- When you get procmail to pass mails off through spamassassin, you may want to try running spamd/spamc - it is a daemonised version of spamassassin, and can help cut down the overhead incurred when you have to start perl up for each message - most of the execution phase with this setup is actually spent compiling the rules. Using the daemonised version will save this hit, as it will only have to process the rules once when spamd starts. Depends on how many mails you get, and whether you consider it acceptable to have a daemon perl running, though.
