Hi,

Thanks  for the responses on this. I have some questions about some of the 
responses.

I'm not sure I understand how this would work. I can see that this will add 
a spamassassin report to all email going to a spam address that I might set 
up. But I don't understand how I would tell mimedefang to redirect spam mail 
to this address.
Might this not be better in acheving what I want:
http://www.mimedefang.org/kwiki/index.cgi?RedirectSpamToMaildrop (How do I 
redirect spam to a spam mailbox)?

Where would the message be quarantined to??

Thanks for the help,
