Please don't top post.

Keep in mind that, as you've been told already, all that happens by
default with MIMEDefang+SpamAssassin is that the email is *MARKED* as
spam.  If you want something else to happen then *you have to make it
happen*.  You can do this in the mail client, using the header that's
inserted, or you can do it with MD - take a look at action_discard().

The answer to your final question is in the archives, where it's been
posted more times than I care to remember.  Indeed, it's such a common
question it's in the FAQ under "How do I redirect spam to a spam
maildrop?".  If you trawl the archive you'll find a posting by me that
does that and also attaches the spam email as both plain text and RFC822
mail message (so you can easily report the spam, or retrieve the
original).

Just be careful, get it wrong and you'll be discarding valid email - and
there's no way to get it back once you do that (so you probably want to
consider using action_quarantine_entire_message() first).


PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list.  Email sent directly to me may
be ignored utterly.
