dovecot - Jun 2011 - postfix dovecot spamassassin question

I have an old server with postfix -> maildrop -> spamassassin ->
courier setup.
I am installing a new server and would like to use dovecot instead of courier.
Currently I have postfix -> dovecot lda -> dovecot setup and emails are
delivered as expected. The problem is that I do not know how to get spamassassin
integrated into the mix since I am using the dovecot lda rather than maildrop. I
would rather keep things as simple as possible and not use maildrop + sendmail
just to use spamassasin but will if I have to.

So my question to the list is, how do you recommend me doing this? Are there any
documentation, howtos or tutorials which can help me configure this?

Below is the output of dovecot -n

Thanks,
Dhaval

The simplest, and maybe fastest, is to use amavis-new as postfix contentfilter.

So I setup amavis-new and configured postfix/spamassassin/amavis. Mail is still
delivered properly but I do not see the spamassassin info in the headers of the
email.

I configured amavis-new and set "sa_tag_level_deflt" to -999 so that
it would
always show up but no luck.
I updated the spamassassin config and enabled it.
I also tested spamassassin manually running "spamassassin -t <
someemail" and
that returns the email with the X-Spam in the headers.

If this is not the correct place to ask, I apologize. Please direct me where I
can find the answer.

Thanks,
Dhaval

amavisd-new mailling lists :)

amavis only adds the spamass headers to LOCAL domains, so you need to  
define your domains as local.
