You can not. You need another account.
Not quite true. I'm going to use one account on a host running qmail
to find the differences between the lists (one will go to
accountname-mod@qmailhost, the other to accountname-raw, and a cron
job will do the comparisons every few minutes). If you have an
account on a unix box running sendmail, you can have .forward run a
program to sort messages out by sender into separate files for normal
mail, the raw list, and the moderated list.
I wrote to Steve Case about this censorship problem, and I am waiting
for him to respond.
Do you want another account to get the censored list at?
