Hi,

The spamoracle documentation mentions procmail as the only mail delivery
agent usable with spamoracle.  However, of course spamoracle works fine
with other MDA's, like maildrop.  I believe it will even work with
qmail's .qmail files, or courier's .courier files.

In the debian/control file,

 This program is designed to work in conjunction with procmail.

could be replaced with

 This program is designed to work in conjunction with your mail delivery
 agent, like e.g. procmail.

In the spamoracle(1) manpage,

 This  machine  must  have  procmail(1) (see http://www.procmail.org/)
 installed.  Your ~/.forward file must be set up to run all incoming
 e‐mail through procmail(1).

could be replaced with

 This  machine  must  have  a mail delivery agent installed which is 
 capable of pre-filtering messages through external commands.
 Procmail(1) (see http://www.procmail.org/) and maildrop(1)
 (see http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/) are such MDA's.
 Typically, your ~/.forward file takes care of running all incoming
 e‐mail through your filtering MDA.

The ~/.procmailrc example

 To  process  automatically  your incoming e‐mail through SpamOracle and
 act upon the  results  of  the  analysis,  just  insert  the following
 "recipes" in the file ~/.procmailrc:

              :0fw
              | /usr/local/bin/spamoracle mark

              :0
              * ^X‐Spam: yes;
              spambox

could be replaced with

 To  process  automatically  your incoming e‐mail through SpamOracle and
 act upon the  results  of  the  analysis,  just  call spamoracle from
 your MDA's filter definition file.  For procmail, this means inserting

              :0fw
              | /usr/local/bin/spamoracle mark

              :0
              * ^X‐Spam: yes;
              spambox

 in the file ~/.procmailrc.

 For maildrop, this means inserting

              xfilter "spamoracle mark"

              if (/^X-Spam: yes;/)
              {
                   to spambox
              }

 in the file ~/.mailfilter.


Thanks, Bye,

Joost

Upstream answer it is developed only for procmail. If it works with
anything else that is left to the user. As spamoracle is no longer
actively developed, documentation will not be changed.
