I needed to fix a couple of bugs before I could make it work. Before 
trying the following you must fetch the latest test release (r3625).

Let me first cite part of the release notes for r3587:

The following is what you need to do (I think) to solve your problem.

First, unarchive the attached file in this folder:

	~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Bundles/

Second, edit this file:

	~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Bundles/Junk 
Handling.mmBundle/Commands/SendUpstream.mmCommand

You need to replace two email addresses. One with your own address and 
another with the upstream address. Ideally, this should be done 
elsewhere, but we'll hardcode it for now.

Third, double-click the universal Junk mailbox and select the Rules 
pane. Add a rule which only has a set of actions (which are then going 
to be applied to all messages added to the Junk folder). They should be 
like this:

![](cid:157200AF-0EAD-41AC-B7C9-A1784D4D9FF1 at freron.com 
"PastedImage.png")

That's it. Now you can try to move a message to the Junk mailbox.

Note that the script is also available in the “Command/Junk 
handling” menu. This is useful for testing the script on selected 
message(s).

Also note that I assume the `sendmail` Terminal command used in the 
MailMate command works. I'm a bit unsure on whether or not it works by 
default on OS X. On my current machine (10.7) it seems Postfix is 
launched automatically, but I might have configured something in the 
past. You can watch errors using the following command in the Terminal:

	tail -f /var/log/mail.log

I haven't tested with SpamSieve, but in theory that should work as well 
(when moving to Junk the message is marked as junk and thereby 
implicitly given to SpamSieve).

Feedback is welcome. Don't forget the part about fetching the latest 
test release.
