I am very new to Postfix, although I have managed sendmail for many years,
so please forgive me if I appear less than knowledgeble.

I am trying to set up a pipe mailer for use as a content_filter, but I am
unsure what the canonical equivalent of the following is;

dspam unix - n n - 10 pipe
        flags=DORhqu user=dspam argv=/opt/bin/dspam --mode=tum
--deliver=innocent --feature=ch,no,wh -i -f ${sender} -- %u --user
${user}

I understand what 'flags' do, as well as 'user' and most of 'argv'.
${sender} ought to be the sender's e-mail address and ${user} would be
'foo' out of 'foobar.com'. But AFAIK, the '--' ought to terminate any
options input to the preceding command, and %u I have no idea what it
means. I have written this rule out like this based on advice from people
who have gotten the pipe mailer to work properly. By way of not finding
anything in the DSPAM documentation about the '--' and '%u' I imagine that
they could be some sort of Postfix magic.

Also, the '-i -f ${sender}' are intended as LDA arguments, where the LDA
is /opt/sbin/sendmail (Postfix's sendmail binary), and I think that
portion works.
