Spamassassin is a tool for helping identify spam in incoming email. Configuring spamassassin is fairly straightforward:

• Add the following two lines to the beginning of your $HOME/.procmailrc file:

  :0fw
  | /usr/pkg/bin/spamassassin -P

• If you wish to stuff the spam into a separate mail folder, something like this in your .procmailrc will do the trick:

  :0:
  * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
  mail/caughtspam

  (the above will put the spam into "mail/caughtspam" in your homedir.)

   

• If you wish to stuff the spam into a separate mail MH mail folder, add a line like the following to your .maildelivery file:

  X-Spam-Flag  "YES"           | ? "/cs/lib/rcvstore +spam"

Spam email will be identified with a '*****SPAM*****' tag added to the Subject line of email that Spamassassin believes is spam.
