Yeahbuddy.

My webhosting/mailserving guys do the same thing; anything addressed to a
non-existant account at my domain goes into the "spam@" account, and someone
has to clean it out periodically.

The frustrating thing is that a real piece of mail, mis-addressed but real,
occasionally ends up there.  So I can't just

    * there is /dev/null here

or something like that.

Someday, in my CFT, maybe I'll set up fetchmail/procmail/whatever to do
something about this.  Needless to say, if someone has a clever set-up for
this, and cares to share it, I'm all ears.  All something, anyway.
