I'm not sure if SF is the good place for that, so sorry if it's not the case. I'm administrating a Debian server for our company's emails and I'm trying to have the emails flagged as spam by Spamassassin to go in a dedicated folder for each user (like Spam/ or Junk/) but I can't manage to do it. I already have Postfix and SpamAssassin running well (SA flags the spam emails in the subject field properly), but now I must set a Procmail filter to put them where I want.

Here is what I have : In my /etc/postfix/master.cf, I have a SA rule :

spamassassin unix - n n - - pipe user=spamd argv=/usr/bin/spamc -f -e /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient} 

I tried to add a rule for my spam filtering :

spamfilter unix - n n - - pipe flags=Rq user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/procmail -Y -m /etc/postfix/procmail-spamassassin.rc 

And my /etc/postfix/procmail-spamassassin.rc :

SHELL=/bin/sh LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log VERBOSE=yes LOGABSTRACT=all :0 * ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Junk 

But it doesn't work and I can't understand why... I have no output in procmail.log so I can't figure how to debug that (my Postfix log doesn't give more). postfix reload seems to ignore my changes. I tried many others configurations, like having a mailbox_command in my main.cf to use Procmail, and it isn't better... For information, we use Postfix virtual mailboxes (mailboxes are stored in MySQL, not mapped with Unix accounts).

I know Procmail can run this way cause I have a similar vacation filter in my master.cf and It works :

vacation unix - n n - 10 pipe flags=Rq user=vacation argv=/usr/bin/procmail -Y -m /etc/postfix/procmail-global-repondeur.rc ${sender} ${recipient} 

Can you see what I did wrong ?

Why not just have the final mail destination be procmail? There's not need to set up a different transport. Look into the mailbox_command value in main.cf.

Did you add "spamfilter" in the "transport" table ?
