For the past several months, I've been getting tons of double bounces resulting
from spam sent to addresses that look like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

and on and on.

I grepped through the messages I've sent to the qmail list, and it turns out
that these all come from Message-ID headers. For example, the first in the list
above was harvested from:

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

which was a message I sent to the list in May.

I imagine a lot of other people have been seeing this. Has anyone come up with
a clever way to deal with it? The only thing I can think of is to look for
addresses of the form ^a[0-9]+ in my domain's .qmail-default file and send the
mail into the void.
