Then mail sent to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" needs to be forwarded to a different address. And since SpamAssassin does not handle any part of mail delivery, that's a question for your mail server's mailing list. > this domain and SPAM server would be used only for this purpose If it's on the Internet, you cannot guarantee this. Spammers and other evildoers are constantly scanning for abusable servers. It will be found quickly, and as soon as someone finds out how to abuse it, it will be abused. There are three solutions: 1) Ensure that this "Spam server" ONLY accepts connections from a very small list of authorized computers. This means you will need to add the IP address or domain name of every new server you set up into a whitelist on this server. 2) Allow connections from anyone, but have "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" forward to a single, consistent address (abandon the idea of sending the results back to the sender). This is probably the lowest-maintenance and most sane idea. 3) Do not expose the server to the internet at all. This is fine for testing servers on your internal network, but obviously won't work if you set up servers remotely and wish to test them. Regardless of all of this, however, **this is a question for your MTA software's mailing list, not for SpamAssassin**. SA does not receive, deliver, forward, send, or otherwise handle the transmission of email. It only looks at messages and offers an opinion. It's up to your mail software to determine what happens to that opinion.
