[TriLUG] procmail with postfix/ spamassassin

[Michael Hrivnak]

Dear all,

I could use some assistance with my mail server (Mandrake 9.2).  I've got 
postfix running such that it executes a script which processes an email 
through spamassassin and then returns it to postfix for delivery.  The 
problem though is that it seems to run as user "spamfilter", which I suspect 
is why my personal .procmailrc file isn't having any effect.  I don't fully 
understand which programs run as which users in this whole process, which is 
why I would like some guidance.

This setup has worked beautifully until I tried to make my personal 
.procmailrc.  Procmail doesn't seem to notice it at all.  Is procmail running 
as user spamfilter?  Of course, only my username and group "mail" have access 
to my spool file.  Here are my config files and the spam script (extension 
changed for convenience).  Note that the stuff I added is at the bottom of 
the .cf files.  Also note that I am fooling around with SASL, but it's still 
broken.  Comments on that are welcome as well!

In case my recipes are buggy, the intent is to move all mail from trilug to 
the folder "trilug", all spam with a score of 10+ to "myspam", and all other 
suspected spam to "spam".

Just for fun, I threw in "processlist.txt" which is the result of "ps -Af".

All comments are welcome.  I'm interested in learning why $HOME/.procmailrc is 
ignored, and I'd be happy to take advice on any other issues you might spot.

Thanks a million,
