Hi John --

it should be easy to get procmail to run spamassassin as a filter; but
unfortunately I have no clue about procmail whatsoever, it just looks like
line noise to me ;)

So ILUGgers -- I know there's a few procmail wizzes out there -- how do
you get procmail to pipe a message through it, and use the result (on
stdout) as the message which should be delivered (according to the usual
procmail rules)?

Alternatively, can I get procmail to simply deliver all mail to a command,
and let it handle delivery?  Preferably with procmail doing the locking so
that only one process can be running this at once.
