[Mimedefang] Redirecting email with mimedefang

[James Ebright]

If it is always going to be "spam at SOMEDOMAIN.COM" then you could easily write 
a generic rule to do this, probably in filter_end since you want to divert 
based on spamassassin results I assume.
The you simply make sure sendmail has an alias or virtuser or real user for 
spam at everydomainyouacceptmailfor.com

This would allow you to not have to change your filter everytime you 
provision a new account and control the spam at somedomain.com forwards by 
sendmails normal means, and still get your desired results. As far as 
documentation goes... the code should be self evident, if not, use 
comments! ;-)
