curious...   At some point in the past I decided to track which
companies might sell my email address, so following the pattern of a
friend, I've started submitting email addresses in the form of
[EMAIL PROTECTED] - it works great, and I've even been able to bitch
at a couple of companies for violating their privacy policy.  Anyway,
this is easy enough to handle with an alias@ setup in courier.  However,
some spammer has recently started using my domain to send email, and I'm
getting a number of user-not-found bounces that I would like to avoid
(for now, I've just been putting the addresses into bofh, but there are
quite a few now, and 2-5 new ones daily).

This doesn't solve your current problem since you've already done things this way, but I think a better way to do this in the future is to create an account called "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", and submit email addresses in the form of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (letting the .courier-default file send them to [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Or you could just use the hyphen trick with your regular email account (that's what I do).


This would have avoided the problems associated with opening up the alias account to allow arbitrary mail, while still allowing you to track which companies gave out your email address.
