[Mimedefang] Forwarding spam to an admin mbox instead of quarantine

I've done something similar in the past.  When messages were flagged
as spam, porn, infected, etc. I called Sendmail with a separate config
file (the -c flag if I remember correctly).  The SmartHost option was
set to the main holding machine.  Since the e-mail was not local, it got
forwarded.
