Hey,
Well for the worth of it, I use Sendmail, Procmail, SpamAssassin and IMAP-U=
W=20
but with my setup the IMAP software used, is totaly irrelevant.
My setup is as follows:
$ tail /usr/local/etc/procmailrc
DROPPRIVS=3Dyes
:0fw: /var/run/spamassassin.lock
* < 256000
| /usr/local/bin/spamc
$ tail $HOME/.procmailrc
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
$PROCMAILDIR/junk
$ tail $HOME/.forward
"|IFS=3D' '&&exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f-||exit 75 $USER"
Maybe this can help you out...
Rick,
