Thanks for your reply, Jake.
We figured out what the problem was. One our less clueful users had done
two things to make a bit of a mess:
1) Set up a forward that was directed to both a remote address *and*
back to the forward itself(!)
and
2) Set up the same account as a 'catch-all' account.
Once these two conditions were corrected, the flood of SPAM stopped, we
cleaned out the queue and all is well again.
Anway, thanks again for your help.

Greetings All,
In the past 24 hours, I've had to fend off somewhere north of 50,000
emails to one single forward in one of our vdomains.
In this vdomain are 4 regular accounts, several of which forward to a
forward in the same vdomain, which in turn directs mail to another
SMTP server. Most of the SPAM coming in is addressed to this single
forward.
So, the questions is, other than the obvious move of disabling the
forward until things quiet down, or smptforwarding the entire vdomain
to the client's SMPT server, is it possible to selectively
ignore/forward only the inbound emails addressed to the single
troublesome forward in this vdomain?
TIA,
You could probably use badmailto and filter what you want that way.
Just put the address you do not want to accept mail for in the file,
if that's what you're asking. Otherwise I may be misinterpreting what
you're trying to accomplish.
