Hi,

I have a question concerning sending spam to /dev/null . So far over the last several months I've not gotten even one fasle positive for spam, how safe is it to send it to /dev/null.

Here is what I do:

if (/^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*/) { to /dev/null }

if (/^X-Spam-Status: YES/) { to $spambox }

But SA works so well that I think about putting them all in /dev/null.

procmail said it's dangerous

How? Some technical reason or the possibility to lose some mail? I would be interested in the former, but the latter is just to bad, rather lose on in several thousand mails than having to cope with spam.
