Ah, OK.
Fwiw, my setup works the way you want yours to work, but this is what it
looks like:
1. Postfix SMTPD accepts incoming mail, does a bunch of RBL and other
checks
2. mail is piped to procmail (defined in a Postfix transport)
- after this point, Postfix never sees the mail again
3. procmail filters message through SpamAssassin, then gives the mail
to /usr/sbin/sendmail for further delivery
4. /usr/sbin/sendmail is owned by qmail, which handles local and outbound
final delivery
Basically it's just an SMTP proxy.
Now if you didn't want to do that, then perhaps the following would work:
1. same as above
2. same as above
3. procmail | /usr/sbin/sendmail (owned by Postfix)
- this might be all you need to do, but I am not sure whether
Postfix will do another transport lookup. If it does, you're
screwed. If not, then you should be all set, letting Postfix
decide what to do with the message (remote or local final
delivery).
- or maybe you could have another transport with a bogus
domain and do some address rewriting to use it but that is
ugly and I wouldn't feel comfortable with that
Another option:
Do the same thing I do with qmail, except run a 2nd instance of Postfix
with its own configs, and without the procmail transport. So a message
comes in, is filtered, then passed to /usr/sbin/sendmail which is your 2nd
Postfix; from here, you make your normal delivery decisions.
- or perhaps you could do this within one instance of Postfix, but
with 2 queues, one of them having transport lookups disabled.
