As i understand from your recommendation is that you delete or do not deliver to a mailbox all messages that are considered as spam ?
I still deliver spam messages but i deliver them to the "Spam" folder using procmail. If a user sets it's mailbox to forward all messages to another external mailbox i think that the procmail is never run and if it is run the message still gets forwarded. Again, if i'm not mistaking you recommendation will not help me a great deal. If you care to explain in more detail what is the exact behavior and what is going on ? > Simply run good spamassassin filtering on your server and you wont > forward spam on.
