Of course, doing it from .procmailrc would be fine, because it would belong to the user, but that would only work if the spam was intended for user spambox in the first place, otherwise user spambox's .procmailrc isn't going to be read.
No, you took it out of context - that paragraph I took from the man page, and it applies because we are forwarding to the user named 'spambox'. It doesn't for your second original rule, of course. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
