How to forward email when marked as SPAM

matt1982 · 09-11-2006, 09:24 AM

hey guys,

i'm using exim as my mail server and spamassasin as the spam filter.

Currently my spamassasin is setup to mark the "junk" mail with **** SPAM **** in the subject.

What I want to do is have spamassasin forward the spam emails to a different email so the user doesn't see the actual spam mail.

how do I go abouts this...?

thanks ahead guys.

You need to use a mail filtering program such as procmail or sieve. I prefer sieve because it is faster and simpler but in only works using cyrus-imap server as far as I know. procmail is more popular and runs on any imap/pop server; you do loose speed with procmail, especially when you have a very busy server, but then you can always scale by using multiple servers.
