K,.. please please bear with me, I'm totally new to this
procmail/spamassassin thing.
Irrelevant details are as follows:
mdk 9.2, a 2.4.x kernel
P2-350
272MB of ram
2 ide 4.3G harddrives
1 scsi 4.3G hd
24x CDRom
2 nics, only one in use currently.
Formerly a routing gateway, now a server living behind a hardware
firewall.
I have a few lines in my .procmailrc that I just don't get. See, I'm a
little leary, cos last time I tried this, I managed somehow to get all
of mail deleted.... not generally the desired behaviour. ;)
Assuming that the user is test and the home dir is /home/test ...
# Is this stuff relevant if my mail file is under /var/spool/mail?
# I think it is, but ....?
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from
LOCKFILE=$HOME/.lockmail
# self explanatory
# f*cking spammers subscribed to by a dumbass that doesn't know his own
# f*cking email address.

/var/spool/mail/test
# what's the "b" for?
:0b
# identifies the thing we're testing for...
* ^Content-Disposition: attachment
* .*name=.*\.(vbs|bat|com|exe|scr|pif|uue|zip)
# wtf is this? a folder where the suspect email will be stored?
# lives where? /home/test/Mail/possiblevirus ?? if I use evolution,
# or even squirrelmail, how do I see this, if my "regular" mail
# lives in /var/spool/mail/test?
possiblevirus
# I think this is right...

| usr/bin/spamc
# I -must- be reading this wrong, cos I see any message being less than
# ~200KB marked as spam and ?thrown into a folder named caughtspam in
the /home/test/Mail dir? Again with the squirrelmail/evolution question?
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
* < 200000
caughtspam
# Anything that has not been delivered by now will go to $DEFAULT
# using LOCKFILE=$DEFAULT$LOCKEXT
