[Sean Whitney]

Have you considered postfix instead of sendmail (two bugs in one month, 
grumble, grumble)?  

There is a howto for what your trying to do using postfix instead at

> We have a Redhat 8 box residing in a DMZ that we intend to utilize as an
> anti-spam relay/gateway into a secure Exchange server. Sendmail is running
> smoothly and SpamAssassin appears to be properly analyzing and tagging
> inbound messages. Our concern is that when we place a .forward file in the
> users’ home directory, messages are forwarded into the Exchange box without
> being processed by SpamAssassin.
>  
> How might this situation be remedied so that inbound messages are analyzed
> by SpamAssassin prior to being forwarded to Exchange?

Obviously, a man's judgement cannot be better than the information on 
which he has based it.  Give him the truth and he may still go wrong 
when he has the chance to be right, but give him no news or present 
him only with distorted and incomplete data, with ignorant, sloppy or 
biased reporting, with propaganda and deliberate falsehoods, and you 
destroy his whole reasoning processes, and make him something less 
than a man.
