Subject Line control (SPAM CONTROL)

[Andrew Hoying]

I have it set up kind of interesting, mail comes into my mail gateway/relay
into the mqueue.in and gets scanned by mailscanner. It then moves to mqueue.
Inside of mqueue, sendmail checks if the message has the .procmail extension
to the recipient. If it does, it gets forwarded to the internal machine, if
not it gets run through procmail which runs it through spamassassin using
spamc/spamd.
