[SA-exim] Postmaster question

[Hans-Peter Zahno]

Dear Tony,

at our site we run all messages throug SA, but don't rejcet the ones for 
postmaster. The messages are only flagged, so you can do whatever you want 
with the flagged messages by your MUA. You don't break the rules, but can 
keep spam away from ham in the postmaster mailbox.
Regards
Hans-Peter
