I would highly recomend Razor and Pyzor in addition to your
current spam catching techniques as they often catch spam that might
otherwise be missed. This is often enough the case here.

It should be whatever you think it should be, whether that's a
cronjob or a elite team of spam analyzing monkeys is up to you. :) I
concur that fetchmail wouldn't need to re-deliver the email anywhere,
it's meerly that the MTA will have much better error handling than a
pipe-chain, IME.

I admit that to the uninitiated procmail can be daunting. Yet, I
for one find the results of a few well written procmail rules to be
quite rewarding. I personally use: fetchmail => exim => procmail =>
Courier IMAPd. De gustibus non est disputandum.

I would recomend not running SA as root if you can avoid it for
all the usual reasons.

No problem. If you ever decide to get started with procmail the
man page to read is procmailex(5), whilst using procmailrc(5) for
technical clarifications.

room door that read, "There is No Escape". When I told my therapist
about the dream he said I was, "Out of Control". I decided he must be an
EMACS user.
