antispam plugin, pipe backend, how to make it work?

[J. Echter]

Hi,

here (Centos 7) its already integrated...

Just add something like this:

plugin {


  antispam_mail_sendmail = /usr/bin/sa-learn
  antispam_mail_sendmail_args = -u amavis
  antispam_mail_spam  = --spam
  antispam_mail_notspam  = --ham
}

to dovecot.conf

Cheers

Jürgen
