I was wondering how to set up a spam address that would accept forwarded
messages from users and feed them into SA for learning as spam. Is there an
easy way to do this? Is SA smart enough to know not to blacklist the sender
of the forwarded message and to only analyze the forwarded portion?  FAQ?

This is an oft-requested item, but AFAIK it is simply impossible.


Bayes must be fed messages without any sort of modification to the message or its headers to be sure it will work correctly.

It especially must never be fed messages that have any kind of "forwarded message follows" text added in, or it will learn that as a strong spam token.

The bayes engine will pick up on a lot of very subtle similarities between the messages to call as a "spam sign".. if all the spam food has been forwarded, even if you try to "undo" the changes, the bayes engine will likely find some small detail you over-looked and call it a spamsign.
