I saw that one. I'm trying to minimize my admin time by automating it
if possible. It seems like this should be possible. (Push comes to
shove I toss together a C program to strip the excess headers.)
"If it comes from jdow to jdowspam on the internal net and has a
forwarded email in it then strip off the forwarding cruft and feed
it through sa-learn rather than spamc. Then drop it on the floor."
I'm just hoping that someone's been crazy enough to do something like
this already. In principle it should not be particularly hard to strip
off a level of mime before farming it out.
