RE: procmail/spamassin config still doesn't work!->

Hello all,
           I placed this code in my procmail:

------------------------------
 :0:
 * ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*
 SPAM_DUMPSTER
------------------------------

as suggested and well,

Actually, I suggested:

* ^X-Spam-Flag: Yes

because it should exist independent of your current scoring threshold.


SpamAssassin (SA) recognized the spam (3 hits, 3
required) [nice!] but still placed it in my inbox instead of the folder
"SPAM_DUMPSTER"!!

Couple of things:

1) Did you look at the headers on the message in your mail box that SA
flagged as spam? Do you see the SA headers in there? Which ones are present?

2) The stock answer for chasing procmail problems is to add something
like the following to the top of your .procmailrc file:

LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log
LOGABSTRACT=Yes
VERBOSE=Yes

then after a mails have arrived, go look at $HOME/procmail.log to verify
that procmail, in general, is operating as expected. It is possible that
the source of your problems is that procmail is in fact not being run
due to some configuration error. Can you file other e-mail at present
using procmail?

PS: after you've debugged your problem, you probably want to go back and
comment out the three debugging lines mentioned above. In my config. I
leave LOGABSTRACT on, and run a daily cron job to trim the size of the
log. If you don't do that the logs can get to be rather large over time.
