A well formatted configs on Procmail, Postfix & Spamassassin

In this article I’ve placed the all tiring process to configure procmail, postfix and spamassasin in a single place. Read my other article too for chmod and other things which are not included in this section.

Enjoy!

Procmail configuration file /etc/procmailrc

DROPPRIVS=yes
:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamassassin
:0
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
$DEFAULT
ORGMAIL=/home/mail/$LOGNAME
DEFAULT=/home/mail/$LOGNAME
DROPPRIVS=yes

You need to Yum now!-

yum install cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-devel cyrus-sasl-gssapi cyrus-sasl-md5 cyrus-sasl-plain

Now edit the following file- /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf and make it looks like this:

pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain login

mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail
debug_peer_level = 2
debugger_command =
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination

Spamassasin configuration file /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf  (version- 3.1.9)- i used the default file- just enable procmail to work with.
