So how are you feeding those messages to procmail and spamassassin?
If, for example, you are using "formail -s" to explode a mailbox file
into "procmail -m" where the rcfile passed as procmail's argument
contains a recipe for spamassassin, then formail will maintain a
counter in the $FILENO environment variable, so you just need to add
to your rcfile something like
That sounds like exactly what I'm doing:
cat spam-ham-mixed | formail -e -s procmail -m ${sandbox}/.prc
Is there a better way?
My test result and procrc file are posted below.

But, I really need some coaching about how to do what I'm trying to
do. That is, to get my ancient procmailrc of long, long standing, up
to speed ... its doing very little to stop spam at the moment.
My plan was to run lots of mail thru spamassassin via procmail then
hand teach SA to recognize my spam.
I'd like to start another thread on that specific subject especially
if you are willing to join me there. In fact I already attempted a
cross post to the gmane groups for `procmail; and `spamassassin', but
haven't seen it show up... perhaps cross posting is not allowed?

Trying:
LOG="Processing message $FILENO
"
That doesn't seem to be working here
With:
LOG=" Processing: <$FILENO>
"
in the rc file, all I get in the log is
Processing: <>
Here is the full sandbox .prc
