my qmail sends all messages to the postmaster or whoever you specify on my box, but only if the user does not exist on my domain. Then I check that box ever so often to see who's sending to the wrong address.

One ISP I did work for sent all these types of messages to techsupport staff of all places. jay On Thu, 2002-07-04 at 12:59, Mike Burger wrote: > Are you looking to have everyone's potential spam sent to you/a generic > mailbox? > > While this might seem like a good idea, in theory, false positives do wind > up in there, and you might wind up viewing messages that you might not > otherwise see or want to. > > On Thu, 4 Jul 2002, Anthony Hologounis wrote: > > > I think I tried that but Procmail runs as the user so that wouldnt work unless > > I use 666 permissions or like a previous poster mentioned , put all users in > > the same group anddo 660 permissions > > > > On Thursday 04 July 2002 01:22, Mike Burger wrote: > > > You definitely don't need 666 permissions on the folder. > > > > > > If you're testing it, you could just redirect it to a folder/file in your > > > own home directory...like /home/anthony/mail/SPAM. > > > > > > On Wed, 3 Jul 2002, Anthony Hologounis wrote: > > > > Let me ask, so this is the best way to handle spam? > > > > > > > > Righ tnow I have a folder called /var/spool/mail/SPAM that has 666 > > > > permissions.
