Question : Problem with procmail/spamassassin/sendmail/dovecot

my setup is centos 5.5 with sendmail and dovecot. i want to implement spamassassin and clamav for spam and av. every tutorial i found said i had to use procmail. most of them had almost the same steps. i followed one and now when i email the user im testing it on i get a bounce back message. ive gone through the others making sure that i didnt miss anything or maybe i did something wrong but i feel like it seems i did it all right.

Answer : Problem with procmail/spamassassin/sendmail/dovecot

I highly recommend sticking with sendmail and using the MailScanner (www.mailscanner.info) distribution that comes bundled with Clam and Spamassassin.

Directions are relatively easy to follow and the mailing list is very active.
