[Boston.pm] OT - A SpamAssassin question: msg#00002

Subject: [Boston.pm] OT - A SpamAssassin question
I want to filter my mail from sendmail through SpamAssassin but redirect 
to my cox.net address.

Using Sendmail, I used to  redirect all my mail to my cox.net address. 
Needless to say 99% is spam! Since I stopped redirecting, I have some 28MB 
worth of mail sitting somewhere, waiting to be delivered. I want that 28MB 
mail to be filtered and forwarded to my cox.net address.

I understand that SpamAssassin requires filtering via procmail. So I set 
up /etc/.procmailrc to say:
DROPPRIVS=yes 
:0fw
* < 256000 
| /usr/bin/spamc 

and then brought up the /usr/bin/spamc daemon.

What do I have to tell Sendmail to filter this 28MB of mail through 
procmail, and then forward only non-SPAM mail to my cox.net address?

No matter what I do, I have to filter the existing 28MB of mail before 
doing anything else.

Can someone help this idiot?

Thanks
