 +=====DontRedirect=====
 +If you have the **Redirect** option set so that spam is redirected to another user, you can use the **DontRedirect** setting to stop mail to certain users being redirected.
 +
 +The setting can either be a wildcard string, or a regular expression
 +
 +So
 +
 +"**s* **" - will not redirect spam to any user beginning with 's'
 +
 +or
 +
 +"**/^(user1|user2)$/i**" - is a regular expression that will stop mail to //user1// or //user2// being redirected.

 This is most beneficial on a mail server with an incoming SMTP feed, as it may be receiving many messages at once. The individual processing time of a message is less important with incoming SMTP as well, because messages are received concurrently, rather than one after the other, as with POP3. This is most beneficial on a mail server with an incoming SMTP feed, as it may be receiving many messages at once.

 +=====Redirect=====
 +The default behaviour of the spam filter is for detected spam to be put in a quarantine for the relevant recipient(s)
 +
 +In some cases, people want all spam to be sent to a certain user. If you want to do this, put the email address where you want the spam to be sent into the 'Redirect' setting.
 +
 +Normally, the messages will be put into the redirected user's spam quarantine. (Note that if you release messages from this quarantine, they will go to the redirected user, not the original recipient!). If you want the messages to go to the redirected user's inbox, rather than the quarantine, then you can [[how_to:quarantine#disabling_the_quarantine|either turn off the quarantine facility totally, or just turn it off for the relevant user]].
