Considering the recipes were not spam filtering recipes but were recipes
to try to identify recipient from the to: and cc: headers, one would
consider that none of them would be suitable for "pitching" at a spam
folder. Indeed, if you have solved your problem with fetchmail, then
those recipes are redundant. Sean has made a suggestion regarding a
suitable recipe for spam pitching according to your specification above.
However, if you do use the recipes I posted, they have automatic spam
pitching matching your specification above. If you had used
megabucks(_at_)raiden(_dot_)net as a real address, you would have created a
recipe to
deliver it to the appropriate user and put a line in the scoring section
at the end. On finding that megabuck(_at_)raiden(_dot_)net subsequently had to
be
considered as spam, you would have remove those entries. The consequence
of that is that mail for megabucks(_at_)raiden(_dot_)net would be delivered to
the
mailbox I called "IN.notforalan". You could rename that "spamfolder" if
you wanted.
