I initially had a Perl script which called Mail::SpamAssassin to check
each message and filtered to various mboxes using Mail::Audit this was
called from the .qmail file.

My web/mail host now has the Spam Assassin spamd running, so
I use spamc from the .qmail to pipe all mail through spamd, then into
another perl script which delivers the mail using Mail::Audit.

A simple .qmail example is:

|/usr/bin/spamc
&user

That should pipe mail through spamd, tag the mail and then deliver all
mail to user [at] localhost.

Check the qmail dot-qmail man pages (http://qmail.org) for the syntax
of the .qmail files.

No, qmail doesn't need patching - it's all handled through the normal
.qmail files.

Give me a shout off list if you want example scripts etc.

Cheers.
