I never delete mail, its always bounced during the smtp conversation so that the sender gets notified in case of a false positive or it is accepted. I dont give the clients the option to play with the spam settings in SA either and I get very few false positives. > I still deliver spam messages but i deliver them to the "Spam" folder > using procmail.

If this is how you want to run your systems then no my option is not going to help you out. However I would recommend that if your going have customers setting up forwards, you should consider rejecting the spam at smtp conversation time instead. But that is of course your own choice. I cant think of any way of having the email forwarded and yet not forwarding on the spam.
