[PLUG] skipping spamd for unknown users

Rather than reject mail for unknown users I redirect it to local user dumpme.
dumpme has a simple .procmailrc:

  :0:
  /dev/null

My system procmailrc, however, invokes spamc to check the mail for spamminess.

I'd like to skip this for mail destined to dumpme.

Seemingly obvious solutions:

  Have postfix dump the mail to /de/null

Doesn't seem to work becuase the options are a) reject the mail, b) forward to luser_relay (an address)

  Have system wide procmailrc look for mail destined to dumpme and dump.

Since the dumpme destination isn't written to the header AFAICT procmail can't test for this.  (true??)

  Something I haven't thought of.

Probable solution, that's why I'm writing to all of you.
