This is entirely possible. I'm using SpamAssassin
and mail from Blackboard ends up in the bin (which
I do review before deletion - so I rescue the
Blackboard messages then ....)

Yes please. I went to http://release6.blackboard.com to
download the new release but got a bit spooked when
it seemed that if you download it you set a clock
ticking that runs for 45 days. After that you loose
all support for any earlier version of Blackboard
you're running.
Perhaps I misread that .... I sought clarification
from Blackboard but they haven't answered that
question. Like all the other "hard" questions they
still haven't answered and which they said they'd
answer post-Swansea. e.g.:
1. Do you need a buy a separate license to run a
second server on which to test patches, etc?
2. If you go Blackboard Enterprise is there still
a compulsory one-off consultancy fee?
Despairingly,
Paul
