I know that there are a few systems out there that have experimented with this, but I don't have the details on how to do it and they might require some very system specific configurations. It would be best if someone who has done this could document it for us and then we will be pleased to post the instructions on our site for future reference.

This kind of "virtual spam trap" is a very interesting idea. I'm not sure that there are any configurations that are mature enough to be generalized... but I hope so. If I understand you correctly, you are looking for a Declude configuration that forwards messages to a spamtrap address if they were considered spam by your Declude installation but did not fail a specific test - such as SNF. There is no direct way to do this, at least not that I am aware of, but I know there are a couple people who have been working on it. As for sharing spamtraps with us in general, we are shifting in a new direction lately. Rather than having systems forward spamtraps to us as we have in the past, we now have our robots go and get spamtrap data from ordinary pop3 accounts. If you have a spamtrap on your system that you would like to share then please let us know the server, login, and password, and how the spamtrap was created so that we can rate it in our system. Sharing a spamtrap like this can accelerate our response to new spam that arrives on your system. _M This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
