First off - junk sendmail, use Postfix, or QMail, or a mailer that is
widely respected. Postfix has lots of options, and can be acquired for
Redhat 8 from psyche.freshrpms.net. It has a great interface called
'filter', and that is where you can do all manner of things to messages
in transit. I
I use MailScanner on my website e-mail server, it works beautifully.

my qmail sends all messages to the postmaster or whoever you specify on
my box, but only if the user does not exist on my domain. Then I check
that box ever so often to see who's sending to the wrong address.
You will be surprised how many ISPs have a catchall mailbox! One ISP I

Are you looking to have everyone's potential spam sent to you/a generic
mailbox?
While this might seem like a good idea, in theory, false positives do wind
up in there, and you might wind up viewing messages that you might not
otherwise see or want to.

I think I tried that but Procmail runs as the user so that wouldnt work unless
I use 666 permissions or like a previous poster mentioned , put all users in
the same group anddo 660 permissions

You definitely don't need 666 permissions on the folder.
If you're testing it, you could just redirect it to a folder/file in your
own home directory...like /home/anthony/mail/SPAM.

As I understand it, permissions are like
RWX , RWX , RWX
Owner, GroupOfOwner, RestofWorld
So if all users are in the same group, say 'users', then you could do :
chmod 660 /var/spool/mail/SPAM
to change the permisions on the folder so only group members and the owner can

Let me ask, so this is the best way to handle spam?
Righ tnow I have a folder called /var/spool/mail/SPAM that has 666
permissions. I think this is dangerous but I want to be able to collect all
of the spam in one folder.
So I can see how well my procmail/spamassassin settigns are working.
Yes, actually, I do.
The problem, I think, is that you're trying to have each user's account
write the spam to /var/spool/mail/caughtspam.
Only one user can own that file, and if it's not been set with permissions
to allow world to write to it, they won't be able to.
Hence the reason I filter

Look in ~/caughtspam
Personally, I use the example put forth in the SpamAssassin docs:
:0:
* ^Subject:.*\*\*\*\*SPAM\*\*\*\*
$HOME/mail/caughtspam
Since SA usually puts *SPAM* into the subject line, as well as the
X-Spam-Flag, this usually catches it with no problem.

Dear Brain,
I have setup spamassassin in a RedHat 7.2 with sendmail
8.12.3. Please let me know as to how filter all the spammed messages to a
single folder called as spam using procmail.
It would be also great if you can give links/documents for installation,

No, you can run it on a personal basis - I do at home and work.
But it _may_ also be applied systemwide.

No, you can run it on your mail from procmail. Install procmail and add the
rules as per the documentation.

"Based on linux"? Or runs on Linux? Google has plenty of info on this.
man procmail, procmail.org (IIRC), among many, many other options.
