I setup a sendmail server for a business using spamassassin via
procmail. I noted you did not want to use procmail for this. But you
may want to reconsider it. They way I set it up sendmail calls procmail
for all messages. In procmail you call spamc to process the messages.
At this point you can grab all spam and put it in a separate file or
pass it on to end users to let them process it. In my case I dump the
spam to a dummy spamuser. This is reviewed periodically for any false
positives (no real false positives so far). It also becomes a pool of
messages to train the baysian databse with. I also use the this
spamuser as the one to run spamc as. This way I have a single database
on the system which is kept under the spamuser home directory.
Has worked well.
Not at work right now so I don't have the links to the documents I used
to get this setup. Will try to remember to post that for you if you
want it.
