You  said  that  the  box  in  question  -- the tertiary, where you're
thinking of deploying SpamCannibal -- is on "a different location on a
different  feed."  This  is  precisely the reason that legitimate mail
_will_ flow there due to remote network issues.

If  you'll  get  satisfaction from the SpamCannibal concept, why don't
you just register some dummy domains, propagate thousands of addresses
at  these  dummies, and point their MX records at a separate tarpit? I
think  the whole concept is deeply flawed (probably vaporware in terms
of  its actual effect), but it makes more sense to create dedicated SC
boxes than to bank on public MX records for real domains never getting
legit mail.
