For VPS v1, it's /etc/procmailrc

For VPS v2, it's /usr/local/etc/procmailrc

Certainly trust Rus; either of these will work. There was such a high
demand for running spamd on VPS v1 because of memory issues that the
first command (spamc) will be much more efficient, especially on busy
servers. The VPS v2 has so many more resources than v1 that either way
will work fine.

Note: you can't just put the spamc line in your procmailrc file; you
have to be running spamd (you can search throught the
spamassassin.install file on VPS v1 to see how it should be run if
you're doing it yourself).
