I am calling SpamAssassin via the users' .qmail files (using the
spamd/spamc pair instead of invoking spamassassin directly):

| /usr/bin/spamc | /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver username

I hadn't thought of the -p flag to spamassassin. spamc has a -u flag,
which apparently behaves similarly to spamassassin -p.

How are you calling SpamAssassin? Also, assuming you call "deliver" in
.qmail, do you have any kind of wrapper script around it to deal with
the exit codes qmail expects?

Thanks,
Jacob
