OK, Whil, thanks. I'll try to be clearer. Thunderbird is the client.  
Mine is Mac:Mail. Since all of these spambot messages are to an  
invalid user name, they are being bounced by my email server  
software, so they are never making it to any client. I don't know how  
to see anything more about bounced messages than what shows up in the  
eMail log.

I have half-heartedly been looking up how to create a catch-all email  
account on my server software, so I can capture some of these mails  
and look "up the chain." I had one at one point, but since it was  
full o' nothing but spam, I deleted that account.

And, really, these things aren't doing much harm. It's just bloating  
my email logs, and chewing up some server cycles. Nevertheless, I'd  
like to figure out how to stop it.

Ken
