spamtrap address

[Desai, Jason]

Or:

1. Public folders on exchange shared out to all users, and available via
IMAP - one to train as spam, and one to train as ham.
2. Archive all messages
3. Write script to periodically check the shared folder via IMAP from
the mailscanner box.  
4.  For each message found, pull parse out the message id and date.  Use
the message id / date to find the location to the original message in
the archive, and send to sa-learn as needed.

This way, users can dump messages into a public folder, but you don't
have to worry about exchange (or forwarding / bouncing) making changes
to the original email.
