This feature is useful to manage Spam mail that you want to forward to an abuse mailbox like abuse@myISP.fr Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Forwarding to abuse@isp seems like a dangerous application of such a feature to me. The junk mail filter is adaptive and especially in the "training" phase [but possibly also later] it will generate some "false positives", i.e., mail that is OK will be marked junk. Forwarding that to black lists and ISPs will cause more problems than solve 'em. Such things should NOT happen blindly and automatically. To that part i recommend WONTFIX. Besides, the current Junk Mail routines already allow you to move a JUNK Message to another folder/account registered with Mozilla Mail.
junk as criteria of filtering: read bug 183104 comment 3. Forward to... filtering action: bug 11034 forwarding junk: bug 112315 or bug 181466. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 11034 ***
