our setup, we use procmail to call spamassin. we filter all spam mail to

That's great, but wouldn't that still try to process the SPAM through the
vacation program?  I'm not a procmail expert, but I don't see any logic in
your example, telling procmail not to processs the file if it is SPAM.

These are the last two recipes in my .procmailrc files:

:0fw: spamassassin.lock
* < 256000
| spamassassin

:0
*^X-Spam-Flag:.*YES
/tmp/spam

Basically runs spamassassin, then sends the file to a tmp directory if it
is SPAM.  If I simply add your example, it will still process the file
through vacation regardless of if it is SPAM or not.  As far as I can
tell, anyhow.

Thanks.
