Depends on how you intend to get mail there. If you're talking about a spamtrap, go for it, just keep an eye on what it receives. If you're going to have users forward mail to it, you'll have to do some extra work. A forwarded message will not have the original headers, and will likely have the body re-encoded by your client and text added to it. This kind of message will be useless to spamassassin -r. You *MUST* feed a true, unadulterated copy of the message to spamassassin -r. The only molestation can be spamassassin markups, spamassassin headers, and extra received headers.
