Hey,

Well for the worth of it, I use Sendmail, Procmail, SpamAssassin and IMAP-UW 
but with my setup the IMAP software used, is totaly irrelevant.

My setup is as follows:

$ tail /usr/local/etc/procmailrc
DROPPRIVS=yes
:0fw: /var/run/spamassassin.lock
* < 256000
| /usr/local/bin/spamc

$ tail $HOME/.procmailrc
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
        $PROCMAILDIR/junk

$ tail $HOME/.forward
"|IFS=' '&&exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f-||exit 75 $USER"

Maybe this can help you out...

Rick,
