To do the deliver the mail I would suggest using the Safecat program,
available here:
	http://www.nb.net/~lbudney/linux/software/safecat.html
Just pipe the email through "maildir ./My/Maildir/Location/" and it will
be delivered like the maildir spec says.

Isn't that the same thing the OP posted? :)  The man page for
condredirect isn't exactly clear on what it uses for the email, testing
it out shows that it isn't the stdout of the program that it runs, but
rather the original email.

I personally don't need the Bogosity header as I'm dividing up into Spam
and NonSpam through the condredirect lines and that's all I really need
to know about the email.
