You could even take this one step further and eliminate the need for
a temporary file altogether by making use of tee(1):

    awk '/spam=YES/ {print $11}' /var/log/maillog |
    sort |
    uniq |
    sed -e 's/^.*=//' |
    tee -a /usr/samba/mail/envelope |
    mail -s "SPAM IPs...." us.navy at outlook.com
