Haven't had much luck in asking around elsewhere about this, so I'll give it a shot here.
When mail is received, what order does Sendmail do processing in? Are the .forward files processed first? Does it go through procmail first? Or does it pass to those after it's done other things?
Main reason for asking is because I've installed some spam filtering software and have found that a large portion of the ones getting through should have been blocked by the dns blocklist filters I have. My personal account also routes mail through spamassassin via a .procmailrc file in my home dir. But it doesn't seem to catch the blocklist stuff even when the headers say the IP was on such a list.
Or is there something I'm missing in my local spamassassin configuration that I can tweak to catch these conditions and reject emails that fit the criteria?
