Hi Bill, you missed

my

"i tested this with dovecot lda"
in hope you may adapt the syntax to your needs by your own

here are the recommanded setups

http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/IntegratedSpamdInPostfix
http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix

--snip
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/spamc -e /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver
--snipend

by the way using dovecot lmtp and i.e amavis or spamass-milter/clamav-milter

might be better choice in many ways


Best Regards
MfG Robert Schetterer
