I've setup SpamAssassin on my Linux system and on my FreeBSD system. Both installs are identical, however I am having a slight problem with the FreeBSD version of this and was hoping someone could help me out. This is more of a procmail / .forward problem than an application problem. My .forward file looks as such: "|/usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #morbiddk@insensible.net" Any my .procmailrc looks as follows: :0fw | /home/morbiddk/bin/SpamAssassin/spamassassin -P -c /home/morbiddk/bin/SpamAssassin/rules Now I have no problems on my Linux server which is setup the exact same way, however I have a weird problem with the Freebsd setup. Whenever an email is sent to me on my FreeBSD machine I get 2 messages, one is the actual message sent and the other is a Mail Delivery System failure message. The contents of one of these failed messages is as follows: Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim). A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: pipe to |/usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #morbiddk@insensible.net generated by morbiddk@insensible.net The following text was generated during the delivery attempt: ------ pipe to |/usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #morbiddk@insensible.net generated by morbiddk@insensible.net ------ procmail: Couldn't read "/home/morbiddk/||" Now, the problem appears to reside with the setup of the .forward with the ||, however I am not sure how to change the line in the .forward to allow it to preform its intended function without breaking my Spam tactics.
