Sending Marked up mail to another address

[Luke Shannon <Lu...@date.com>]

I just got my system going. For the short term I would like to send all
mail marked as spam to another address (not served from the box spam
assassin is on).

I am using sendmail/procmail/spamassissin

Here is my .spamassassin.rc file. Any ideas why this won't work? When
the forward rule is in place, the first rule doesn't work.

I'm new to this so my apologies if this is a trivial/silly error on my
part.

Thanks for the help,

Luke

You mean .procmailrc file?

You need a pipe in front of that:

| /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi admin@site.com

The other way is to just put a bang in front of the email address:

! admin@site.com

See "man procmailex" and "man procmailrc".
