That's cool. I haven't looked to see how to run spam[cd] yet.

Can anyone else comment on the fragility or robustness of this? I
think Paul's expansion to use "mailer-daemon" instead of the empty
string in $sender_address is good (otherwise the shell won't see any
arguments here). How about that $LOCAL_PART too?

Right, though Paul and I have the command part set as a separate shell
script for now.
