The obvious solution if the goal is to provide something out of the box that works with one or more mail clients is to dump "such" mail into a spam folder of the particular user. That way it is not zapped, and yet easily zapped. The point is, the mail came to the machine in order to "hit" spamassassin or anything else. It was not blocked before reaching the machine. Therefore... many possibilities... -AEF
