From /usr/share/doc/spamassassin/README you get: [...] 4. If you already use procmail, skip to step 6. If not, ensure procmail is installed using "which procmail" or install it from www.procmail.org. 5. Create a .forward file in your HOME DIRECTORY containing the below lines: "|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #user" 6. Edit or create a .procmailrc file in your HOME DIRECTORY containing the below lines. If you already have a .procmailrc file, add the lines to the top of your .procmailrc file: :0fw | /home/user/bin/SpamAssassin/spamassassin -P -c /home/user/bin/SpamAssassin/rules The above line filters all incoming mail through SpamAssassin and tags probable spam with a unique header. If you would prefer to have spam blocked and saved to a file called caughtspam in your home directory instead of passed through and tagged, append this directly below the above lines: :0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes caughtspam 7. Now, you should be ready to send some test emails and ensure everything works as expected. First, send yourself a test email that doesn't contain anything suspicious. You should receive it normally, but there will be a header containing X-Spam-Status: No. If you are only tagging your spam, send yourself an obvious spam mail and check to be sure it is marked as spam. If your test emails don't get through to you, immediately rename your .forward file until you figure out cause of the the problem, so you don't lose incoming email.
