Sure, no problem. Now, given that I archive my spam (yes, spamassassin is
trained on everything that has come in, but what if I want to change to
some other system that needs training later? disk space is cheap...),
should I go through it and find all the spam that passed through
debian-user and bounce it? I can. It's easy. I just have to do it a little
carefully so that my ISP doesn't think *I'm* sending spam.
