I gave up on this idea and I'm trying to use fetchmail instead.

Still have the problem of getting spam to both servers and the problem
of efficiently routing spam periodically to a spam account.

Currently, I use redirect in horde Webmail IMP to get the spam from say
foo into the spam email account.  I have to open spam in Horde to
redirect it, forwarding isn't an option as the headers will change.

One way to get the spam to two places is to have two virtual mailboxes
connected to the spam user where each mailbox is a copy of the other.
The idea is to copy the spam once and have fetchmail from each gateway
that has spamcannibal installed access one of the two virtual mail
boxes.  Can procmail trigger copying?  Note that the mailboxes have to
be virtual or they have to be subfolders and fetchmail has to be able 
to target a virtual mailbox or a subfolder.

Another problem is that I want to be able to let spam sit in someone's
spam folder for say a week before it automatically redirects to the 
spam account.  My thought is fetchmail on the mailhub itself, but how
to target the spam folder instead of the INBOX?  The subfolders problem
hits at two points in the transfer chain, once getting spam to the spam
account and again trying to fetch the mail to spamcannibal on the two
gateways.

The best  I can do right now is to manually use Horde IMP to redirect
mail to the spam account on the mailhub. I then have the primary mail
gateway use fetchmail to pick it up.  Note that I'm not sure how to 
test if spamcannibal is processing the spam correctly or not.

The downside of my current approach is that I'm using an actual Linux
account, spam, to collect spam.  The idea here is that the spam account
is like a special trash can that actually empties into spamcannibal.

So I need to know the following:

1) How does one target a subfolder with fetchmail?

2) How does one automatically copy the spam to a subfolders with
procmail?
