[SLUG] SpamAssassin Question


We are runnning SA on a RH9 box with Sendmail. At the moment email is tagged and
then delivered to the user, I would like to instead deliver it to a different
mailbox, which would then be reviewed periodically, or indeed simply delete it.

At the moment I have in the spamassassin-rc file (Note that I have very little clue
about sendmail/procmail etc despite buying and trying to read the Bat Book!) I
assume this is saying forward all mail to spamc

# send mail through spamassassin
:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamc

I found the following piece of code (used with the spamd daemon - I am not using
that, Why? Cause I couldn't get it to work!):
:0fw
| spamassassin -P
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
spambox

Does the effect of the second part of the rule say "Return any mail that is tagged
as SPAM not to the original destination but to a mailbox called 'spambox'"?
