Of course. You are right. I copied this line from my procmailrc which is used for something else. The character ^ confused me because it is used as negator sometimes in regular expressions.

I have installed spamassassin on redhat system-wide and it seems to working ok. But I regularly keep sending mails to members (10K+) and during that time the systems slows down a lot. On running the top command I see that spam assassin is the culprit and it tries to check every outgoing / every bounced mail. So is there any way of configuring spam assassin to not check that particular mailbox ? <br />
