yeah I saw that site in my searches. I have
Mailscanner up and running along with postfix. Itworks
when I send mail to /var/spool... and directly to my
Maildir. But I wasnt to use procmail to filter out
spam to a users spam folder. My understanding from all
of the sites I have read mailscanner works like this
incoming postfix server -> mailscanner -> outgoing
postfix -> final destination (Maildir, spool, or mda).
but if I use mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail in
postfix/main.cf it goes striaght to procmail,
bypassing mailscanner. Do  I need to configure the
second postfix server and how do I do that, or am I
completely confused.

thanks
