If they are all rejected, not a problem, just reject normally, based on SA
score, as the OP does now. Only for messages that would normally be
rejected for this reason, add an extra test for the presence of "spamlover"
in the recipient list, and tag if so found.
If the OP is rejecting on SA score at SMTP time (SA-exim, yes?), then the
"fake reject" (only if "spamlover" is a recipient) instead of "reject"
allows us to keep a copy, right? So we queue it for delivery anyway,
although the outside world sees a reject. In the system filter, if the
"magic header" is present, but recipient is NOT "spamlover" then /dev/null.
So spamhating recipients don't ever see it. Only spamlover actually
recieves it.
Does this make sense? Or am I misunderstanding "fake reject"?
