THis is Dhanesh , Here I have to configure a       .procmailrc     file in 
order to control spams in  the mail system

I had a few mailing lists ,  and I can send mails to these lists from my 
personal mail id ,

in  /etc/aliases  tther is an entry  for these lists as
mylists : list1,list2,list3 etc


but I have to block spams ,so I editted this entry as follows  in 
/etc/aliases

mylists:spamassassin

and I executed  #newaliases

and  in /home/spamassassin   I created a file  .procmailrc  as follows (I 
changed the ownership as spamassassin:spamassassin to  .procmailrc and chmod 
-R 777 to procmailrc )

# ee /home/spamassassin/.procmailrc
:0
^TOmylists
{
    :0 c
    ! list1@mydomain
    :0 c
    ! list2@mydomain
}




But when ever I tried to send mails from my account to  mylists@mydomain  , 
its not delivering the mails to receipients (before configuring procmailrc  
its working fine but spams are coming along with this so I decided to use 
procmail rc )

I tried this alos

I tried to configure the  /usr/local/etc/procmailrc file also the same  way 
, but its also not sending the mails to the receipients in the lists...



tail  /var/log/mailog   tells that the messages forwarded to Maildir 
directory , all the mails are ther in  /home/spamassassin/Maildir   but its 
not deliverd to the client ids ..

So let me request you to help me what mistake i made while doing this .Any 
suggestion will help me alot to solve this issue ..

thanks in advance
dhanesh
