I do this with procmail at the gateway. I'm sure there is a similar way to do with your setup. I simply look for a score of >7 and those get redirected to a local spamtrap account. (Don't call it spamtrap, thats too obvious an account name!) Then you can feed it locally. For ham, and this can be VERY TOUCHY, you can copy a messege to a hamtrap. (Yup, don't call it hamtrap!) However you will need to get permission from users you wish to do this for. Also it can GROW real fast! This is a popular question, and usually only the system specs change. --Chris
