If you run a mail server, you should know how to set it up. Most
servers that I have seen have an 'aliases' file that allows you to do
things such as route all email addressed to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to
an individual within your company. Likewise, since I know that 'mail'
is not a legal recipient for incoming email, I can add the line:
mail: /dev/null
to the aliases file to send all email addressed to mail to the bit
bucket. There are at least 3 other ways I know of to accomplish the
same thing; they offer more control, but also require a bit more
knowledge to do correctly. But if you don't want spam coming in to
that account, this will take care of that for you.
