sendmail (Junk Mail)

[Alfred Hovdestad]

There is an option in man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf
that might help:

       all_spam_to add at ress.com

which should send all SPAM to a given address.

I am using the spamassassin milter to mark SPAM and the sieve filter in 
the Cyrus imap daemon to put any SPAM message in a special folder.
