[Mimedefang] Question about resend_message() (Sendmail)

[John Von Essen]

So I tried this:

            $SpamBox = 'essenz_spam at localhost';

            if ($hits < $req) {
                action_change_header("X-NoSpam-Score", "$hits ($score) $names");
            }
            if ($hits >= $req && $hits < 15) {
                action_change_header("X-Spam-Score", "$hits ($score) $names");
                delete_recipient('john at essenz.com');
                add_recipient($SpamBox);
            }
            if ($hits >= 15) {
                action_discard();
            }

And it appears to work. But I am concerned about spammers trying to use alternate means of delivery, like my username @ FQDN, which is essenz at bjork.essenz.com not john at essenz.com which is done in Sendmail’s virtusertable. 

If I call delete_recipient(); with no argument, does it act as a catch-all and delete “ALL” recipients?

Or do have do something like:

foreach(@Recipients)
{
delete_recipient($_);
}

Then

add_recipient($SpamBox);

Or could I just null the @Recipients array (@Recipients = (); add_recipient($SpamBox);)

It is a current Sendmail, and this server only serves one email user, me…
