That's been a great help. I've gotten hundreds of spam messages on that address and many from places that have never spammed me before. It's helping build the list defenses just that much more. I really appreciate that line being added. If more people can do it as well, I'd appreciate it. I think that everyone who has their own mail server should have an account like that and add the same thing to their websites as well. Anything that comes in under that account is automatically spam and can then be used as a basis for defense against other spam. Of course, you'd have to program the defense on your own, but its worth it.
