Procmail Recipe for SpamAssassin

If SpamAssassin is set up on your mail server (like mail.your-company-name.tld); you can set up your mail client to filter out spam messages, based on headers that SpamAssassin adds to each message.

If you are using Procmail, add the following rule to your ~/.procmailrc file:

:0
* ^X-Spam-Flag: Yes
{
  :0
   spam
}

The recipe will save messages marked with "spam" into your spam email folder.

IMPORTANT: Please keep in mind that non-spam messages could end up in the spam folder and spam messages could end up in your Inbox.
