How much system resources are used if a user's mail is .forwarded to /dev/null, and can this be done as a default unless a user specifies (perhaps in a modified newuser) that he or she specifically wishes to receive email at Grex?

I there a better way to make spam to user accounts that are not used specifically for mail less of a drain on both Grex and the internet generally? (Bouncing would usually end up with an innocent spoof-victim receiving the bounce anyway.)

To use spamd instead of spamassassin would I simply change the line in my
.procmailrc which contains spamassassin?  I have set spamassassin to dump any
mail with 3 rather than the default 5 points and so far no false positives.
Some mail with only 1 point is spam, about half with 2-2.x points is spam.

Instead of piping into spamassassin, you'd pipe into spamc, like this:
| /usr/local/bin/spamc

I changed spamassassin to spamc and I don't know if spamc is working but the
rest of my filter (.procmailrc) still works.  I sent three test mails and the
one with viagra in it was caught by procmail.   I should be catching a few
real spams shortly.
