Anyone have a simple little VB script that will forward an
email (spam) to a specific address with a low priority and
then delete it. We have an email group that would like to
have sent to it any spam we recieve, but manually this is a
pain. I have added a button to my menu bar for running a
macro, but I don't know enough VB to handle the forwarding,
addressing, and deleting.

You could use my Spamcop macro and just set the address to the person you
want to send it to instead of a Spamcop address:

It allows multiple message reporting from the message index as well.
 
Nice macro Leon.

I like SpamCop but found it a pain to use until I found the SpamSource
freeware:

I've been using this for months without a glitch. The pro version does
some tricky analysis of spam coming through an exchange server which I
don't need, but others in this group might find useful.

The SpamSource people provide customised solutions. I think most people
in this group could provide a solution for the questioner, including
me. But I don't work (hard) for free :-)

Leon, I notice your latest version uses Redemption, which is fairly
expensive for small commercial users. I hope you keep a non-redemption
version going. If MS security is a problem you can get round it using
Express ClickYes.

I thought there was a version of redemption which anyone is allowed to
download for free, and you only had to pay for it if you want to distribute
it with your code?

I'll have a look at ClickYes though, thanks for the tip.
