Can someone please let me know how to intergrate spamassassin with Mailman?
Running both 2.1.4 and 2.0.13 on different servers.
Thanks,

I've been doing this for ages on all the publically known mailing lists. What I did was re-alias the posting address to
copilot-announce: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m MAILMAN=copilot-announce /etc/procmailrcs/mailman" rfc: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m MAILMAN=rfc /etc/procmailrcs/mailman"
Then /etc/procmailrcs/mailman is a file that belongs to user "nobody.nobody" (because that's who Mailman expects mail to come from) which looks sort of like:
HOME=/var/mailman SPAMFOLDER=${HOME}/Mail/caughtspam LOGFILE=${HOME}/Mail/log
:0
- ^Content-Type: multipart/
{
:0 B:
- ^Content-Type:.*(^.*)?name=.*\.(bat|com|exe|lnk|pif|scr|shs|vbs) /dev/null }
:0fw | ${SPAMC}
:0
- ^X-Spam-Status: Yes ${SPAMFOLDER}
:0 |/var/mailman/mail/mailman post ${MAILMAN}

Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to use procmail and Mailman together? If it is, can someone please direct me in the right direction ... thank you!

Hi Andreas,
I'm using postfix+procmail+mailman. AFAICT, procmail and mailman are independent. I had postfix+procmail running for a long time before I needed mailman. Adding mailman involved changing postfix's config files so it would know where mailman stores list ids, i.e. list@domain.com, list-subscribe@domain.com, list-unsubscribe@domain.com, etc, and so that mailman would know the MTA is postfix. My procmail recipes didn't get changed at all.
Hope this helps!
