After some tweaking I've got MailScanner successfully setup on OpenBSD
with SpamAssassin and ClamAV. Now I would like to add some of OpenBSD's
own anti-spam techniques to compliment MailScanner, so I was hoping
someone could point out to me a method to "plug in" relaydb after
mailscanner uses spamassassin to classify  whether or not that the
message is spam. Much like this example procmail filter does in
http://www.benzedrine.cx/relaydb.8.txt

         :0fw
         | /usr/local/bin/spamc
         :0c
         * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
         | /usr/local/bin/relaydb -b
         :0:
         * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
         in-x-spam

         :0c
         | /usr/local/bin/relaydb -w

This ( http://www.benzedrine.cx/relaydb.html ) page explains the
scenario better than I could. The main goal here is to reduce the
overall load on the mailserver.

Many thanks in advance,
Peter Verhagen
