Can someone please let me know how to intergrate spamassassin with Mailman?

Running both 2.1.4 and 2.0.13 on different servers.

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!

Use them together?  In what way?  There's a good deal of feature 

overlap between the two programs, but for different reasons. What is it that you're trying to achieve?
