        No problem at all.

        I've found that this approach, while it works well, tends to put 
quite a load on the mail server if I bounce, say, more than 100 messages 
at once to the autoreporting address.  In the end I've moved to a slightly 
different approach of feeding the messages to sa-learn over ssh to 
multiple machines on which I run spamassassin; now my spam serves lots of 
users!  This latter approach will handle any amount of spam because the 
messages are learned one at a time.  Mail is also protected as it's 
carried over ssh.
        I've made that script available at

        It's _well_ worth upgrading to 2.60.

        That would never happen.  ;-)
