# spamassassin --version
SpamAssassin version 2.50-cvs


# less /usr/share/doc/spamassassin/examples/procmailrc.example
# SpamAssassin sample procmailrc
#
# Pipe the mail through spamassassin (replace 'spamassassin' with
'spamc'
# if you use the spamc/spamd combination)
#
# The condition line ensures that only messages smaller than 250 kB
# (250 * 1024 = 256000 bytes) are processed by SpamAssassin. Most spam
# isn't bigger than a few k and working with big messages can bring
# SpamAssassin to its knees.

# The lock file ensures that only 1 spamassassin invocation happens
# at 1 time, to keep the load down.
