We have several non-existent mail addresses that are gettig swamped with
spam. Now the exchange server is sending loads of rejects for them (which
doesn't bother me).

I was thinking of doing something useful with it and get MailScanner to
deliver it to my local positive spam account to train the Bayesian
database. The adresses were never in use therefore they only get 100%
confirmed spam.

I could use the blacklist feature and forward the mail to a domain that is
set to local delivery on the box but that would create extra mailheaders
in the mail making it less useful for bayesian training i guess.
