Redirect spam to mailbox

[Matsaki <ma...@gmail.com>]

New to spamassassin I now got it up and running on my server with ubuntu,
postfix, dovecot.

The only problem I have now is that i have created a mailaccount called
"spamtrap" but I can't manage to get the SPAM: classified email redirected
to the mailbox. So some help would be appreciated.

Yep.. Maybe was worth sending to the OP, not me. I knew what SA can 
and can't do. :)

So the slightly longer answer to your question is that you need to tell
your Mail Delivery Agent to sort the message, be it Procmail, Postfix,
or whatever you use.  Some MDA's are smarter and more flexible than
others, but almost all have the ability to sort.  Worst case, you can
tell your mail client to sort for you (although this is cumbersome, and
a PIA to maintain if you have more that one client from which you access
your mail).

SpamAssassin can't do this. You'd need to use procmail or another such method.

Spamassassin has no such capability to send messages to a chosen mailbox.

>That's what I was reading in the spamassassin wiiki?

Please quote what you saw that said spamassassin has that capability.

I should be able to do this in spamassain as well as you can have training
etc. and sending SPAM: classified messages to a chosen mailbox, ie, spam.

That's what I was reading in the spamassassin wiiki?

that's a job for your MTA or MDA.
- if you deliver mail using the dovecot lda, then you can ask on either 
postfix or dovecot lists
- if you deliver mail using postfix (no external LDA), then ask on the 
postfix list

When doing so, please
- show how you are delivering mail
- how you are filtering mail.

consider using amavisd-new where you can redirect spam (for example to 
user+spam@example.com, then depending on user prefs, you can alias the 
latter to your spamtrap).

Note that this is not really a spamtrap... it's just a Junk mailbox.
