You can look at the WebRedirect plugin on 
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/CustomPlugins
   
   Possible?  Sure.
   Should?  Not unless you want to turn your (and anyone else running that 
code's)
   machine into a DDoS client.

   In other words, while it's possible to shoot yourself in the face, it's 
really
   not a good idea to do so.

There are various WARNING: PRIVACY AND TECHNICAL ISSUES listed in the
plugin.   I used the plugin for a while, but stopped using it when the
number of hits dropped off.
