spamcopy copies and converts spam email messages. It does not detect spam, but is designed to re-route the messages or convert them into an error report.

Spamcopy does just what the name implies. It copies an email file from one location to another. In the process, the contents of the email are modified according to some rules.

First, the email destination, the "To:" field can be altered to send the mail to another destination. This is called trapping.

Second, the email can be converted into a problem report stating that the mail could not be delivered. This problem report email will be addressed back to the person who sent the original mail. This is called bouncing. When spammers see that their mails are undeliverable, they are less likely to waste their time trying again. Spamcopy has helped to reduce my incoming spam by about 90%.

spamcopy is designed for use with zxmail, but can probably be used to bounce or trap spam emails for other mailers. The mail server is used to check the mail against a blacklist, and then calls spamcopy to copy the blacklisted mail back into the mail servers dropbox, from where it is sent on it's way.
