This _might_ be a good idea, if that address took forwards. My incoming 
chain does not include the ability to do other than accept, then divert 
to /var/mail/virii or /dev/null. But my one attempt to forward to that 
address when debians poor spam/viri filters failed often enough to get 
my attention several years ago, resulted in its being bounced back to me

Don't give me, or my current ISP a hard time because their spam filtering 
is far better then debians. I get very little spam from them because 
they do active bouncing, using barracuda I believe, or they'll put it in 
a spam folder, but thats rare, 4 to 10 msgs a day. When I moved my 
server from my former employers server because the facility had been 
sold and my lifetime account was going away, I had to call the tech 
people at Shentel and compose a whitelist. Putting debian on that 
whitelist raised the spam content around 10% here. My incoming spam gets 
fed to sa-learn at about 1 am, and the folder copied to a 1 day save in 
case I need to retrieve something. Its coming up on 8 am local, and only 
3 more have been caught by SA. I'll have maybe 15 by the end of the 
collection day. I thank my ISP for their active filtering as its caught 
hundreds I don't have to even waste the bandwidth to download.

I could probably, with some study, have procmail forward that stuff to 
the above address in near real time.

But if all it generates is bounces, why bother? That just serves to prove 
to me that debian has zero interest in containing UCE. Since I don't set 
the rules, or write the checks for debian, that just how it is.

Thats a choice debian has made as its the least manpower choice, and I 
grok that.

But redirecting the blame to me or my ISP because debians filtering is 
poor, is poor form in any language. I go look at every message that I 
get threatening messages from your server over because my ISP bounced 
it, and there have been no exceptions in 2 years, every time you got a 
bounce from my ISP, it was blatantly UCE that the debian server should 
have sent to  /dev/null, and I'll not apologize for that. I do not 
consider its me or my ISP's problem. 

Cheers, Gene Heskett
