Spambuckets, Bayes and MailScanner signatures

[Peter Russell]

It is even easier to create a public folder and make the default access 
contributer, not read, then everyone can drag and drop onto the public 
folder, then there is a python script here that will read the public 
folder and delete its contents and write a little log of events for you.

This si easier to setup and avoid the issues of exchanged erasing the 
headers when you forward email to another email account.

The script was posted (by me) about 2 weeks ago, i can resend if you 
need it.
