# attention: enabling this is a good idea if you want thos obvious
#   spammy mails for later training with your spam filters.
#   however, if you forget to handle the content filter side with
#   the Honeycollect module, the mails might just pass to where they
#   should not: the recipient.
pass_for_collection: 1

    # all incoming mails for this recipient domain
    - spamlover.tld
