[SA-exim] Rejecting spam at SMTP but forward it to its recipients

[Richard Lithvall]

Hi list members!

As the lazy postmaster I am I don't want to check every mail caught by
SA for false positives but I really want to reject the damn spam at SMTP
time.
Therefore I wrote this little perl hack delegating this responsibilty to
my users (they all use exim filters to file mail tagged as spam into a
Junk folder).

It works as follows.
- Configure SA-exim to save rejected mail into a directory
- Run the perl script attatched below from cron, let's say, once an hour
(as user mail or whoever that runs your exim)
- Inform your users how things work and their responsibilites to check
for false positives.

Please comment this script/hack and I'd really love to get some English
spelling/grammar check as well :-)
