You want spamd running as a daemon.
Then you want lines like this in your procmailrc
:0
* < 500000
* !^List-Id: .*(spamassassin\.apache.\org)
| /usr/bin/spamc -t 150 -u $LOGNAME
The third line is my personal filter to prevent spamassassin triggering
on the SpamAssassin list. Any spam there is FOOD for the anti-spam rules
folks. {^_-}
This will add markups, probably the default markups.
http://www.spamassassin.org/ is a starting source for information.
The Wiki link points to the (admittedly pathetic) online documentation.
This also has a link to the users mailing list. You're certainly
welcome there.
http://www.rulesemporium.com/ is a nice place to get pre-canned sets
of effective rules to supplement the stock rules.
Other help is found with man spamassassin, etc. Also check out man
or perldoc for Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf for configuration help.
