Yes, but hang on a minute - this is not the "Archive Mail" option which we
were discussing earlier.

If you want to keep an archive copy of mail on the server, use the "Archive
Mail" option with the name of the directory or file where you want the
archive to be kept.

If you want to forward copies of Spam mail to another address, then use the
"forward user at domain.com" selection on the "Spam Actions" option.

You can do both - they're independent.

Hope this also helps,

Antony.
