Spamass-Milter Help

[dougp23 <do...@gmail.com>]

I am trying to get all my spam forwarded to one box on my system.  Seems easy
enough.
(Sendmail is my MTA)

Anyways, my optional flags in spamass milter look like this:
-b spambox@mymail.com -r 15

So all spam is being sent to spambox@mymail.com which is working great!  
The problem becomes when a score is 15 or higher, they system rejects it,
but also sends a copy to the system wide box, which kind of creates this
loop.  (Because it is trying to email this message to the spambox, it gets
scored again, so it gets rejected, and sent again to the system wide box,
etc.)

I was just wondering if anyone else uses the -b flag and how you have fared
with it!  I suppose I can crank the -r flag to something like 50 or so....

Any ideas would be great!

Perhaps you're looking for the -i option, especially in the form of
"-i 127.0.0.1"?

Or am I not understanding your situation?
