See, that's the problem. amavisd-new shows in the /var/log/maillog that
it's picking up spam assassin, whether the spamd daemon is running or not.
It seems to flag spam whether the spamd is running or not. And I don't
see any spam assassin headers that I recognize from earlier versions of
SA.
So, I don't know if amavis is just running the spam assassin code
directly, or what. And I haven't been able to find much documentation on
the subject.
On another note, I went with dovecot instead of courier, since dovecot
supports Maildir, which I've been wanting to use. my mbox files are
*huge*.
I'm not familiar with Maildrop, is it a procmail alternative?
Thanks!
Ben
