It seems that procmail can't trigger spamassassin, which btw is
really found in /usr/bin directory! I looked through Google but I
couldn't find a straightforward answer to this. Can anybody help

Check if you have at least exec/read permissions to the whole path
/usr/bin/spamasassin

In addition, check whether your server's invocation of procmail
occurs on a separate machine.  Often there are multiple servers
involved in a mail setup.  Your shell might be on one machine,
with /usr/bin/spamassassin available, but the mail might be
processed on an altogether different machine.


Hmm most likely! I think that might be the answer. I contacted the
sysadmins responsible for the mail servers. Thanks Dallman and Peter for
constructive insights. ;-)

With kind regards,

Didier
